Personally, my lack of travel has NOTHING to do with being scared to leave behind the "comforts of the USA" or because I "don't think the rest of the world is worth visiting."
Maybe if we thought of this more as it compares to greek life? Those of us who are in have had great experiences and love it (for the most part.) But there are lots of people who don't join, for a variety of reasons -- money, family, illness, other priorities. That doesn't meant they don't think greek life is worth their time or they're scared to jump into something new. It means they didn't join. For a variety of reasons.

I wasn't talking about YOU specifically. I don't know your reasons...I'm referring to people who ARE scared or unaware of the beauty of other cultures...These people do exist. I've met them...If this isn't you, I'm glad
No one SAYS someone HAS to leave the US...There are plenty of things here to see and do in one lifetime...
