As others said, young folks do the cheap thing, stay in hostels, or the sorta cheap, stay in AirBnBs vs the pre-packaged thing. Also, those intangibles are "creating some new experience" - you're not buying a consumer item, you're paying for experiences. Making things is a whole different thing, even though it can also contribute to some well-being in your life. It's also interesting that you say that the new experience becomes validating if you "make the news" - so, instead of enjoying the process of creating, you're supposed to focus on the possible end rewards? That's somewhat antithetical to getting joy out of a lot of endeavors. |

Hostels and AirBnB are just cheaper, shittier versions of pre-packaged vacations, which is even worse.
Pro-tip: Don't travel anywhere without being invited there.
If you were invited there, you likely wouldn't need to be staying at a hotel or AirBnB.
Kinda-related side-note: When I was about 18 or so, someone told me never to go to concerts or clubbing without being a VIP. Same thing.
Don't be the rando-stranger-in-the-crowd-reduced-to-nothing. Always be the VIP. You'll be a lot happier that way.
