You sound like a lot of travelers I meet: totally self-absorbed, intent on racking up "experiences", so that you can then feel smug bragging about them. The ultimate:

"I celebrated the millennium new year's eve on Fiji, then jumped aboard a flight to Rarotonga, landing at 2:pm on December 31st (crossing the International dateline) and celebrated it again at midnite there."

You flew to a Pacific island to celebrate an arbitrary "event", then flew across an arbitrary line in the ocean to celebrate the same arbitrary "event" on a different Pacific island. You could have done the same thing by driving from Bowden, Georgia to Ranburne, Alabama.

I'd bet the people you meet at each of your "experiences" are glad you won't be coming back.
