i think it goes back to a deeper root premise about the human experience. maybe thats where i go a-kilter. it seems common these days for people to travel and then take instagram pictures and make posts about their experience going to michelin starred places. perhaps they are looking at their phones much of the time or documenting their travel for an audience that isnt themself. then, sure, you may as well read articles about it. youre missing the whole point anyway, and youre also missing life at home even if you arent traveling.

Instagram is of course full of those people, and in certain hyped or especially "instagrammable" places these people are common. But by and large these people seem like a tiny minority when traveling.
