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.

what do you even do in a day? especially in egypt, besides being wasteful is just stupid
Frances Ha says what?
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
Is stupidity a flex?
Sadly yes
Thank you for talking about this!!! Nuanced and true!! ❤
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!”
