Why do people hike the Appalachian Trail when they can drive the freeway from Georgia to Maine? Travel ordeals build your fortitude and self-confidence.
Instead of being the typical privileged faggot getting all flustered over minor travel inconveniences, you'll easily tolerate anything that comes your way. To the faggot, a 12 hour flight overseas flight is a horrible ordeal that cannot be endured without prescription sedatives, booze, WiFi, and in-flight entertainment. But to the seasoned traveler, it is a gateway to limitless opportunities in faraway places for what cost? 30 hours' earnings and half a day of sitting still in a padded seat. Laughably insignificant.
