Day trips.. by plane!?

Has anyone seen this? I keep seeing influencers posting about their day trips to other states and it’s really annoying the shit out of me. Today I saw a guy on Instagram bragging about his day trip to Colorado from NYC!! I’m mind blown. Why the fuck would anyone fly all the way to Denver from New York just to board another flight to return in the same day for “micro traveling”.

I don’t understand this at all. It looks exhausting and promotes a very fast paced consumptive lifestyle. His excuse for doing this was that he wanted to ski but his life was too hectic to go for longer than one day. The guy also had to travel from the airport to the mountain also included a 1.5 hour uber ride, one way.

It’s another stupid social media trend that promotes an exhausting, highly consumptive form of travel that leaves almost no time to actually appreciate the nature of the places you’re visiting.
