RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

For me, the definition of good time is either time spend with my spouse or with very few selected friends, time spend reading books & writing, walking, and to do stuff with my hands. Even though it's perfectly fine to do so, there is seldom any need to travel (or to spend) much to enjoy any of that. As a matter of fact, my spouse and I decided in the early 00s to stop traveling by plane and to use as little car as possible (we have not owned a car since that time, we rent one when we really need it)
I used to travel a tad more when I was younger and liked to go places for holidays, but the majority of those travels I would summarize them as an expensive and rather unimaginative way to get excited.
The only travels I have zero regret doing, and there was quite of few of them, are those I made when I was in my 20s in order to be able to spend time with that girl I was so madly in love and that lived... away. That was some 30+ years ago.
