That's shocking to me too. Why travel if you aren't going to make the most of being in a different place?

So you don't burn yourself out.

A lot of people end up miserable on vacations because they don't give themselves time to relax and enjoy it.

if you aren’t going to make the most of being in a different place?

They were though...

You're totally right! To be fair, we do go out. It's just that people can choose what to do. There's no scolding or pulling if you choose to stay in.

Also, we don't really do big expensive holidays, and I think that contributes to people feeling okay staying in. The few times we have done big trips, the story is different. But my boyfriend only knows the smaller trips.
