This attitude is not exclusive to travelers.
It is the Amerikkan way!

I'm not in the market for a sex change operation but if I were I think that spending a lot of money on it would be wise!

This is kind of an old thread, but it could've been written yesterday and still be relevant. Speaks to my heart :)

When I tell folks about my travels, it's not uncommon for me to get that kind of blank eyed, gawking, "OH NO YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT IT'S DANGEROUS", response.

When I was first about to leave, my family didn't understand at all. They needed to know why, and they also didn't really believe that I could do it, it was so outside of their realm.

The best thing that I could muster was to explain that I might die doing this, but that if I stayed, I was already dead. They didn't quite get it. A lot of folks never will. That's okay.

Traveling is the song in my heart that never shuts its fat fucking mouth at me until I follow it.

Cheers, everyone. Beautiful thread.
