Is there anyone here who has zero interest in international travel?

I myself love to travel and seeing different places and cultures. However, a guy I work with, who certainly has the financial means, refuses to go anywhere other than here in the US.

He says the only things he cares about seeing are here and has no interest in learning anything about different people or cultures. His reasoning is none of that applies to his life and if it is worth seeing or doing, it is in the US.

Does anyone here feel this way?

I would only want to visit Japan and Wales (the motherland on the maternal side).

Visiting Europe and Italy, nah im good. They are at the same tier on the bucket list as North Korea.

Work with a ton of expats from the Philippines. Their wives seem like bitches and are tbh, not attractive.

Plus, too close to IRL legit cannibals.

Anyone who doesn’t travel internationally is missing out.

Are there places I’d avoid? Absolutely.

Is there anywhere else I’d want to live? No.

Are there tons of places to experience? Without question.

I’ve done multiple 9 hours flights and have no desire to do another one in this lifetime. Wouldn’t mind going back to the Caribbean but I won’t be going across the Atlantic again.

I was all for traveling across the globe in my teens and 20s (90s-00s). However, I've lost the desire for public transportation, airports, TSA, crowds of idiots, tourist attractions, and spending tons of money on week long trips.

Yes, I now only want to travel in America (and North America). If I can't drive there--or take a very short flight and rent a car--I don't want to go. I'm 49, btw.

No need to pay to see foreigners

Our gov't is bringing foreigners to us

There’s no better country to have this mindset at least. We have a lot here in America

I’m sure I’ll go somewhere eventually but I am not a big fan of flights longer than 4 to 5 hrs.

I’ve only been to the following places outside of the US:

Bahamas
Mexico
Canada
Jamaica

Going to Honduras in June. Wouldn’t mind doing a hunt in New Zealand and Africa at some point. Lots of world to see but still haven’t been to a ton of places in the US yet.

Zero desire. I do a ton of domestic travel and I could die of old age a happy man without ever leaving America. I hate traveling. Hate airports. I love a good road trip and America is mecca for road tripping.

I believe you but that does not deter me. I have abandoned all dignity and allegiance and wish to be on a beach with transactional relationships. Exiting the matrix.

My travel is determined by my belly.

Been to Mexico once, have zero desire to fly 38hrs (exaggerating of course) to a country overseas

Been to 73 different countries. I have left each one with a new perspective and appreciation for a new culture. Travel if you have the means the Earth is a big and neat place.

I'd be interested if it weren't so much trouble.

I love to travel been to a lot of different cities. But I can understand if someone just wants to travel domestically.

We gave an incredible places to visit, and less hassle

I have been to several countries. I have no desire to leave the U.S. again. There’s plenty of awesome spaces I haven’t explored here yet

A good rule of thumb is once a country has at least 5-10% third-world migrants that it is not safe enough to visit. So large chunks of Europe are now becoming off limits which is sad to see. Between the lack of free speech and the rising #’s of migrants, I will never visit most of Western Europe again. When I go to Italy, I stick to the small towns and avoid large cities like Rome where the migrants are concentrated.
