OK... could you just drop everything in your life, all your belongings, your job, and more importantly the people you know and care about, your community, and pick up and leave with just what you can carry on a flight?
It's not the cost of travel that keeps people where they are. I've got three siblings, a niece and a nephew, and a bunch of extended family that are worth more to me than the cost of any kind of political strife or economic difficulty.
Very good point ❤️ It's not easy to uproot yourself.
"OK… could you..."
Me? Sure. Did, as far as you mean.
I don't recommend others leave everything behind when there's no want or reason for it, though.
Common misunderstandings of travel are that you can't take your life with you, and that your life is statically limited to your possessions, job and relationships.
"...worth more to me..."
great!
