Who else doesn't like travelling?

Me, I never liked it. I cannot say that I have found nothing positive about anywhere my family has dragged me along to, but nothing to motivate me to go in the first place. Most people have on their list of lifelong goals "travel around the world" or "visit X places". But I truly cannot think of any place in the world I would want to go to for any reason. And the question, "If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be" leaves me with no meaningful response. I spend enough time at home in front of my computer that my location in the world is almost irrelevant to me.

I never liked traveling either, but I think it was that I never got to choose the destination, that was the problem. I still don't have much desire to travel, now that I'm older, but there are a couple places I'd like to visit. I've always had a desire to go places that have natural deposits of gold and precious gems, like Nevada, California, or maybe even Alaska. I've never had the desire to go places just for the sake of having been there, there has to be a purpose.

I don't mind the actual traveling (I like airplanes and it's interesting to see new places), but the severe homesickness I get is extremely hard to bear. If the trip is more then a couple days, even if it's not out of town, I'm absolutely miserable.

Well I left on friday for a 8 hour trip to my elderly grandmother's house, where I often feel out of place, and left ealier today to return just recently. My body seems to get into a mode for travel where I felt a bit tired headbuted things and stuff while in the car, my bowels have been locked up and finaly released when I got back, a bit painful. I hate traveling over moutains which have to do, and my ears keep popping and I feel a bit sick, I have had a past of pukeing before over them. I also now have sunburn, might be going to the beach, but it was a bit of the pain when the sun hit it and I had to cover it or hide my skln from the sun. Though I did enjoy a bit of change, but not realy being in a car that smelt of my 7 year old brothers puke for what felt like half an hour.

I like going on holidays as long as it's to a place I want to go. I also like the traveling itself (being on a plane etc.)

Not fond of traveling either but never to travel again is no option. I can handle the train by bringing a book along and being a bit in my own world during the trip. Traveling by car still is a major problem, can't read, can't sleep and all the stimuli (lights, other cars going by or coming towards, landscape flashing by, all the noises) making me feel very unpleasant. But.... I accept that I'm a peripatetic (~a walker), someone who uses his bike or moped and/ or someone who uses public transport (train mainly) and I'm cool with that.

I think I always have preferred the solitude of home to the hustle and bustle of the traveling crowd. I'm pretty much a total homebody.

I feel the same way as the OP!

My mom goes on cruises once a year and she went to Hawaii once and everytime she goes somewhere, she pressures me to go. I just don't want to.
I'm sure Hawaii is very beautiful but... so what? I mean.. that's nice and all but... why should I want to go there, again?

I'm just not interested in travel
