Cartoon: Trivial trips

Leher Kawadia, Staff Writer • January 29, 2025
Traveling and going on vacations are romanticized in our culture as something to work towards and look forward to. Although the reason isn’t that people actually crave new experiences; they just want to escape the cycle of life that they exist in. Furthermore, this is another form of consumerism, rather than the well-known overconsumption; this is cultural consumerism. Travel should not be as glorified as it is because a short-term visit may not improve the tourist’s life views or the preexisting ecosystem of the vacation spot. (Leher Kawadia)
