> You burned all that fuel, money, and time to travel halfway around the world just to eat someone else's food and shit in someone else's toilet? To walk someone else's streets?
You're gonna eat anyway. Might as well be stuff you've never tried before in some exotic location.
You're gonna shit anyway. Who cares where the toilet used is located?
If you get outside at all, why not walk some streets / take a path you've never taken before?
So it all comes down to the cost of actually getting there. If not far from home, that cost can be low to zero. If further away: there's expensive destinations / ways to travel, and cheap(er) ones. Going on a single long vacation may be better value than a weekend back-and-forth every year.
