I need to save up and try going somewhere completely different
I just realized I've never ever been outside of this rather small rectangle
9 days ago by subarctictundra to c/europe
I need to save up and try going somewhere completely different
That's true. I certainly feel fortunate that my life exists within it. It's more of me noticing how limited (globally) my thinking/perspectives are.
Seeing europe in this orientation really threw me for a moment.
That's ok. It doesn't matter.
Yeah, information is as easy to get as ever. Travel is for bragging, mostly.
This is the take of someone who really needs to see more of the world
By jet? Or by internet?
Would love to travel to South America in general, Mexico first tho. Seems so big that it’s hard to think of where to start
Can you not see it?
I'd make a math joke about how technically you've only been to an infinitely small subset of that rectangle because your movement is 1D on a 2D plane but I don't know enough math to make it funny.
Yeah... "Small"
I know someone who's never been outside of south England
I also know your mom
Its really all relative. The Earth is orbiting around the Sun at about 30km per sec. Furthermore, the Solar System is rotating around the Milkyway at about 800000 km per hour. Not to mention that the whole thing is speeding toward the Andromeda Galaxy too. In short, you have never stepped in the same place twice unless you consider the possibility that we are living in a massive time loop paradox.
Enjoy your future vacation.

You're very fortunate to have traveled that "small" rectangle.
