I was a travel snob when I was younger too, it was just easy to think lowly of others who didn't travel as much. Looking back, it was so naive and stupid of me. They make for some funny stories to look back on though. :) Thanks Todd for sharing your story.

I have been living abroad and traveling for the past 10 years and I have to admit that I have had my moments of snobbery...when I was younger. It usually started by butting heads with backpackers in Thailand...just out from watching The Beach...thinking they are better than me because I was only on a 2 week vacation...followed by me claiming superiority because I lived in Asia...and ending with consuming massive amounts of beer on the beach. Now that I am older it doesn't matter to me anymore, I just enjoy traveling and meeting new people. If they want to stay on their high horses I am happy to go meet someone closer to the ground.

I know I couldn't hack it as a backpacker and I doubt I could even travel solo. That said I live to travel. I gave up my 'easy' and 'known' life in Canada and moved to a different country and I think that's a pretty difficult thing to do. I don't consider myself any less or more of a traveler than someone with a backpack. I also don't consider myself any less or more of a tourist than some who visits 16 cities in as many days. To each their own! Very well said! I know I couldn't hack it as a backpacker and I doubt I could even travel solo. That said I live to travel.

Each person and travel is so unique and circumstantial that it's impossible to gauge an experience without bias. If you can't gauge something analytically then it's just an opinion and everyone has their own. People can travel however they want and whatever they can afford – I don't see any method as 'better'.

I think sometimes people is spending too much time on other people business. It's almost the same as the debate of Stay-At-Home mom VS Working mom.. There is no debate to begin with. It's personal choice. Yes, sometimes those choices might not go with your own personal expectation but it's their choices nonetheless. We shouldn't have to justify our own choice to satisfy someone else standard. I truly believe that traveling in any shape or form is still better than none. But I also don't judge people who doesn't want to travel. It's their choices and who am I to tell them to get out and travel. :) I will just show them how wonderful it is out there. I love to see different travel styles and read about different ways of travel. :) I'm not a backpacker but that's why I love your blog. Because I can live vicariously through you. Well said!
