‘Been there. Done that’. You may hear these from people who loved traveling. I love to travel but I have more important things to do than that. Since my family immigrated 23 years ago, I have only been to the Philippines and stopovers in between when I go overseas from my adopted country.
I have not been to Europe, Africa, North and South America, etc. But it seems that I have visited these places though not physically but through books, videos, TV current affairs and travel documentaries, newspapers, magazines, brochures, Internet. I call this vicarious travelling. I can even go to places that may be off-limits to visitors, to the inner sanctum, and hear first-hand from their caretakers.
I don’t have to spend money for fares, accommodation, entry fees, etc. to see these tourist attractions. I can see these places in the safety and comfort of my home. Would you like to travel like I do?
