      they are consumer goods like any other.

      you can cook a meal at home and travel locally. but few are interested in this because it is not a ‘display of wealth’, the way your week in Bali is or your tiktok dining blog.

        Going to Bali- absolutely an experience Going to Bali so you can show off your luxurious lifestyle to your online following - display of wealth.

        I’d say it all comes down to your motivations. I think travel can be very rewarding and a chance for growth. I also don’t have any social media and I don’t really care what people think of me outside of my family and a few close friends.
