    I don’t currently have a valid passport; I haven’t felt a need for one.

    America itself is so big that I can spend my life visiting different parts of it and never run out.

    Having a passport and traveling intentionally just feels like an unwanted hassle.

      International travel is an amazing education that you cannot receive domestically.

        I just don’t see the value versus the effort I guess.

          Yes. This is what I’m pointing out. Americans are intentionally ignorant about the world and don’t see a problem with this. They’d rather stay home, sit in the lazy river at the water park stuffing their faces and drinking bud light than going and seeing the great museums of Europe, the history of the middle east, the artwork and dance from Africa or the beauty of somewhere like Bali.

          6 flags sounds awesome though. Foot long hotdogs are where it’s at I hear.
