I agree completely with your last 2 points, but I always felt traveling is overrated, and the fact that so many people are obsessed with it, is another symptom of things that are not going well in our society. I associate traveling with some kind of escape and a way to avoid settling and building a family. I guess this is more common now as inflation and higher cost for housing leaves out many young couples out of the market, so they rather travel.

P.S: Is there a reason for you to not use capital letters when you begin your phrases?
