      No kidding! Glad someone gets it. A couple I know who Instagrammed their entire cross-Europe vacation last year couldn’t understand why I don’t want to travel at the same time as them this year even though we’re going some of the same places 🤦‍♂️

        Well don’t leave us hanging! Does their house get robbed every time they’re away on vacation and posting about it on social media?

          Not yet, but it’s not a chance I’d be willing to take. They have at least one neighbor who’s supposedly been arrested for theft. He used to watch their dogs for them but when they found out they stopped talking to him and changed the locks.

    Personally. I don’t consider it a vacation until I’m cut off from everyone and everything. Let me relax in peace for a while, without distractions.

    I hate selfies, so whenever I’m on vacation I just take pictures of my surroundings but never with me in it. Once, my cousin wanted to see my vacation pics, so I showed them to him. He then asked why I’m not in any of them. When I said I didn’t think it was necessary, his genuine confused reply was, “But how do people know you were really there, then?”

    It’s really insane out there.

    Send me on a permanent vacation travelling the world and I’ll burn my phone and go no contact with anyone I know ever again
