Never traveled. Hates travel. Here's a great example of ignorance. It's an incredible learning experience to see how other people live. Don't have to go very far to see new things.

Travel as in out of state travel. I’m fine within my state.

Why wouldn’t you want to experience other states? This wonderful free country is full of beautiful places and other cultures.

When you are old enough to travel, I would recommend checking some other places out. Wisconsin has a bit of everything, no doubt, but don't knock travel until you've given it a shot

How am I supposed to be at my best without a snack?

Savages...

I honestly have no want for seeing places outside my state. Also I hate long periods of driving. No time either.

I hope you change your mind as you get older - places like Colorado and Wyoming should be experienced in person.

Okay. But overall, currently, I do not enjoy that sort of stuff.

But, HOW DO YOU KNOW?? Having never been there or done that?

My 8 year old daughter absolutely demolished a pile of Ethiopian food when we were in St Paul the other day. Had a lovely time walking around the Como conservatory. There were all sorts of people there, lots of languages being spoken, people in wheelchairs and other kinds of adaptive equipment enjoying the plants and animals. Tried to go to my favorite Vietnamese place for Pho, but apparently it closed down. Started looking at other close places on the map and I said there was an Ethiopian place a mile away. My daughter lit up and insisted we go there. Don't get me wrong, she'll get down on a cheeseburger too, but she's not afraid of experiencing new things. Because, she's willing to try. Again, she's 8.

I’ve been on long car trips and I have been behind the wheel for hours at a time. I hate that. I also do not enjoy seeing those sort of things honestly which I have. I’d rather do something else like work on our vehicles/machines or help my grandma.

Actually, she's somewhat of an entrepreneur. Currently sitting on the rug counting her cash. I could probably hire her to check in here and babysit these kids. She could definitely teach them a thing or two...

But after you drove for hours, you didn't see the grand canyon or the Green River though, did you? Or eat tamales out of some abuela's beat-up hatchback? I don't particularly love sitting in the car or plane for hours at a time either, but the destination often makes it worthwhile.

I'll add the redwoods to that list. Can't even begin to grasp the size of them, and our relative insignificance both in size and lifespan, without standing under them.

I have not driven to such destinations. But I have been driven to such destinations like national parks. The destinations are kind of rewarding, but just not worth it to me personally.
