Tourism for the sake of sightseeing is a waste

When I say Tourism, I mean the kind where you book a flight to foreign country with an itinerary of visits to tourist attractions in quick successions.

It's just paying a lot of money to go through a lot of trouble to travel far away from home.

You can see all you need to know online so there's no point cause someone else did that for you instead.

Also it can feel emotionally empty when you realise how pointless it all is in the grand scheme of your life.

Instead of mindless sightseeing travel, you could travel with a purpose.

For example, a specific volunteering project that you are interested, or getting help with certain services that aren't available in your home country.

That's what I will be focusing on in my 10 week trip next month.
