Is traveling to Europe overrated

Answer 1

It depends. If you're one of those travelers/backpackers who visit 20 countries just because, then yes. I am never reallyimpressed to those who travel and travel and travel yet have nothing to give. It seems selfish to be honest. I say quality over quantity in this situation. It's not about how many places you visited, but the connections, the new friends and experiences that you remember that counts. Europe is very popular place for travelers/tourists/backpackers (whatever you want to call them) and it's easy to be caught up in the moment; those who constantly travel just for the sake of traveling usually look down on those who live a "normal" life (read: 9-5 job, kids, spouse, actually owns a bed) and to be honest, in my honest opinion, are the real everyday heroes that I would rather spend my time with than a 20-35ish slacker who has "seen" the world. But that's just me. I say travel to Europe and while there: have a blast; venture on the less traveled path; keep a journal and take many pictures (you may get high at one time and not remember, haha); and when you return home, appreciate the people you're with. Not a lot of people can travel extensively, so soak whatever country(ies) you in, for whatever duration, and return home (if ever) and share the "wisdom" you gained to the people that need you the most, so they too can travel and experience the world.
