What the GP said about how often people travel:

> Then drop in this hard truth - recreational travel isn't actually all that commonplace amongst average people. The average joe goes on one or two major vacations in their entire life.

is similar to what sama said about why his local startup (Loopt) failed[0]:

> Most people are too boring I think--they're at the same places most of the time.

The irony is techies are famous for staying at home with their computer or other electronics.
