Thematically wise, I’d say that would make a good addition. However some people truly do not want to travel for their own reasons. My dad, for example, has been almost everywhere in the world. But now he tries to avoid going anywhere that involves getting on a plan because he hates the hassle of airports so much.

That hypothetical conversation was right on. In 10 days, I’m flying into Bogota, Colombia, alone. I have heard the same perplexed response every time I tell someone:

“Why would you want to travel alone?” and “Don’t get kidnapped”.

Just to add to your overall theme I have this to say: If someone does not like traveling, it is because they haven’t done it. There can be no other explanation.

Hmm. So, you are implying that you don’t have an internet connection. And yet you are writing comments, online, on a website. Interesting….

Oh, sure. Like I can afford an internet connection. Why don’t you post something that could really help me, like a book?

Although having lots of money does make traveling a heck of a lot easier and more comfortable, it is certainly not necessary. It is totally possible to travel on a very limited budget. You just need to be willing to make some concessions in terms of transportation, accommodations, etc. Just check out these great sites for articles and advice:

I love to travel. But I AM POOR YOU RICH BASTARD!

So insensitive to those less fortunate than yourself. Sniff. Sniff.
