It’s Not Wanderlust, It’s Wasteful

A 10-hour flight to Egypt for a single day sounds bold… until you realize the planet’s picking up the tab.
This isn’t about shaming travel—but we should talk about what we’re glamorizing.

    A day is absolutely absurd. Travel should be about enjoying your time at the destination and I don’t understand how that can be enjoyable in one day! I am all for taking little day trips to places that are like max a few hours away from you

    😮

    Girls probably just going to say it’s a business expense. His accountant was like you need to spend at least $1,000 not to pay taxes or something because this is just so wasteful

  • @toddboothbee1361 says:

    Is stupidity a flex?

    I would love to go to Egypt for a day and spend more money. It’s just for a day! Yes, it’s a great experience, and a little silly.

    It’s also just classic classist nonsense: “look at how rich I am and how much time-freedom I have! Watch me blow several months rent for a family in 48 hours!”
