    They also only ever go to Europe. Nobody that wants profound life changing experiences goes to Europe other than to put it on as a badge of honor that they did.

    Traveling through places like Lybia or Cambodia you are seen as some sort of humanitarian, whereas if you travel through Germany or France, you are getting a life changing experience… If you really want a life changing experience, get a minimum wage job.

        If they lived in Europe their life would probably be the same level of exciting as if they had just stayed in the US

      Nah, SEA is the new hotness for “life change” tourism

      Still pretty up and coming though since the infrastructure isn’t as well built out and foreign language accomodation isn’t as present outside of the already touristy areas, but when has the reality of a situation ever stopped a trust fund baby before?

      I think there’s still validity to globe trotting though, living international experiences will genuinely lead to better matured people, and serves as a pretty solid means of cultural diffusion, especially music and cuisine.

      As for minimum wage work, I think that’s best handled by adopting those laws Aus did specifically criminalizing karen tantrums.
