Does anyone not want to travel? Ever? I just don't want to go anywhere. I'm happy at home?

Question

I have been on three continents. Love people. Love culture. But I have no desire to travel. I am just as happy when I have a week home. I enjoy out of town visitors and love taking to foreigners.

I love the show the Amazing Race because it seems to get down to street level in foreign countries.

But being there has lost all its thrill. Is that weird? Or are there other happy homebodies?

Answer 1

I love the adventure, excitement, discovery, and independence of travel.  So I wouldn't relate to you?

My sister is more of a homebody like you.  She likes to travel, but is just as happy in her own room at home.  She's more like you, I think.

Answer 2

I'd be happy if I lived somewhere that was not as boring as Ohio.  Small town not much to do and I'm a busy keep moving kind of person.  We don't even have bike trails to ride.

Answer 3

When it comes down to it, it's your choice to travel or not. There's lots of people that don't want to travel and are content right at home. It's not unusual in my oppinion. Sometimes, you may want to travel, others not so much. I've had times where I'm just fine at home, but usually I'll enjoy traveling.

Answer 4

well i guess everyone has their own preferences.  i think a lot of the desire to travel comes from wanting to see as much of the world as they can before they croak rather than going for fun.  but if you aren't interested you should just stay home and spend quality time with the people you love if that is more rewarding for you.  i would like to experience both personally.

Answer 5

I too feel the same way!  I enjoy my surroundings, neighborhood, historic sulture of the city I live in and I feel like I can vacation at home.  I have not visited other continents except the one I reside on but I'm just fine with watching the Travel Channel and House Hunters International :)
