On the flips side............
Surely one if the reasons we all travel us to escape all this crap..
Don't get bogged down with bringing your comfort zone with you. It's nice to check in with the world every few days but don't be 'That guy' who sits in his tent all day processing videos and editing photos instead of interacting with the world around you. I've seen it so many times. I've taken thousands of pictures from all my trips and I've probably looked at them once.. But I can lie back on a cold winters day and remember all the fun times I've had and the great people I've met. Those experiences are far more important that memory cards full of media.
Cut loose a little from this fake world of social media and obsession with cataloging every moment and just enjoy the experience.
I cant remember his name, but when first reaching Antarctica, Scott asked his photographer why he didn't take more photos for himself.
He replied "Sometimes your eyes are enough"
I've never forgotten that and he was so right.
How many times do you see tourists stuck behind their cameras. They never really see what they're taking pictures of.
Anyway... Rant over
