On long-term travel, snobbery & judgmental blogging {Gadling}
Aug 12th 2010 2:11PM I used to be a travel snob, but I found it too damn exhausting.
I did the backpack and hostel thing, and it was really fun. Now the thought of sharing a bathroom, never mind a room, is absurd to me. I'm pretty frugal, but I travel with my children so I'm willing to shell out for a few little luxuries that make life easier. But even if my kids weren't along would I go back to roughing it to save a few bucks? Not on your life.
I have no desire to live a nomadic lifestyle. We love our home, and the city in which we live. We also love discovering new places, so we plan for that. We love it when we're away, and it feels good to come home. I know a few families that are planning a RTW trip with their kids, and I wish them the best. I do not, however, wish that for us.
Thanks for putting this out there. Occasionally I'll feel a little insulted or defensive when my way of traveling is derided or looked down upon, but then I get caught up in my busy yet wonderful life. And ultimately? I don't give a shit.
I'd love for you to visit me at http://www.havebabywilltravel.com/main/home.htm and I compared my first solo backpacking trip with my first trip with baby on the website for Canadian Family magazine here: http://www.canadianfamily.ca/blog/familyjewels/travel/2010/01/18/guest-post-a-tale-of-two-travels-%e2%80%93-part-1-planning/
