Each person is different. Sorry that I know wtf I want to do with my life and don't feel that it's necessary for me to waste my time galavanting around in foreign lands doing absolutely nothing that will benefit me. Not to say that travelling won't benefit some people, but what's good for some could very easily be pointless for others. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.

I'm just saying that your generation doesn't seem to grasp what they have in hand when I mean spoiled.
I've been around and everytime I go abroad and compare it to home there is no comparison. Vancouver wins hands down. Sure Switzerland or France may have more snow, Hong Kong may have cooler toys and better shopping, the US may have whatever but overall I have yet to find a place that is as laid back, as friendly (only Calgary I find has friendlier people), has such a good standard of living, is as clean, where you can find GOOD food 24/7 and has such a diverse population. Maybe I had an epiphany a while back that opened my eyes or something but if I am wrong please let me know.

^ i think vancouver is wonderful as well, and i believe i am very lucky to have lived here, but i need to see more. i personally feel trapped here. the world is so big, theres so much to see\do. it may not be better, but its different. and i think personally its difference that i seek.
and for myself, to be able to say "vancouver is amazing" i need to have proof\visual & physical knowledge that it is. i want to travel the whole country we live in to be able to say and understand that canada is great. but thats me, and im a visual learner.

Rhiannon, please, stop running your mouth. You're the only one who seems ignorant.
I did NOT say that travel was a waste of time - I said that FOR ME it would be a waste of time. Going away WOULD be a huuuuuuuge fucking waste of my time because I know what I want to do with my life - I want to live HERE, go to school HERE, work HERE, raise a family HERE, so why would I go anywhere else? I have travelled before, and while I had a good time, I was always glad to come home. Travelling is not for everyone - just like some people love to eat peanuts, if others ate them it could be deadly. While I agree that every person should have knowledge of the world around them, I believe that there are many different avenues to go about acquiring that knowledge - travel is just one of them. And, just FYI, the ONLY reason (ONLY) I was interested in going to Australia with you in the first place is that I felt like I needed to get away (see ealier post about running from problems) because I didn't really have anything going for me here, and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. Now that I do, there is no reason for me to leave that all behind. EDIT: And Rhiannon, don't EVER, EVER accuse me of being a cop-out. That's so childish and pathetic - you know that if there's one person who's totally up front, no bullshit, it's me. So please, don't ever try to insult or disrespect me like that again. Winston - you've hit the nail on the head. It's a classic human flaw - 'the grass is always greener...' Last edited by galaxie; Jun 03, 04 at 08:48 AM.

true enough I was just stating my opinion about my choices and feelings about travel, but apparently others felt the need to tell me that I'm 'wrong'.

i agree you shouldnt run away from problems, but for some people, being away from whats familiar can make you face your problems\issues on your own rather than seeking advice and support from others. i wouldnt always say that running away is a cop-out or isnt a good idea. it can be a great idea.

some people have that firm grasp on relaity and dont have to leave the country to get it... i had a friedn last year who in his thrird year of school decided to fuck off and live in switzerland and france for a year and half. he had a rich buisnessman dad who was orignally from switzerland and owned places there which he could stay at...he said it was a fuckin blast and he loved every minute of it. he said that coming back to vancouver he felt exactly the same way courtney did. like there was nothing in vancouver to keep him there. but then he said he quickly realized that he was wrong and altho it seems that europe is so much better it really isn't its just a different type of lifestyle. he also said that after becoming acclimatized to live in vancouver once again he realized that there were alot of problems with the european lifestyle and politics that didnt exist in canada...and that this is the place he wanted to live. i can understand the feeling courtney is going through...vancouver must seem pretty laid back and boring, and i guess its liek a smack in the face coming back to face the same situation you were in when you left. in two eyars i figure im gonna travel around europe, but it will be short lived (maybe 6 months at the most) as i wont be staying in hostles cuz i dont think i could stand that type of environment,, also im pretty career orientated and vancouver is where i want to establish myself and spend the rest of my life...i dont have to leave this place to relaize how much i love it.

eeeh yet another drunek post from seaners....
the way i see it is alot of kids travel on their own to "find themselves" i dont really knwo about this. maybe its just because ive always had a pretty good idea of who i am and what type of person i am, but i dotn see how traveling could necessarily help one find themselves..though ive had discussions with people who have traveled and felt that traveling is a good way to find oneself, and essentialy their arguement was that when you go to a foreign country and have to rely on yourself to survive and you only have yourself that you can speak to comfortably, it gives you a good idea of who you are. I can see the logic in this argument though i feel that if i were to travel for long periods of time, in my case it would be pure escapism/enjoyment and i wouldnt get much accomplished except for wasting alot of time and money.
