Mostly I don't like to travel, I like to stay at home. Packing for sensitivities is the first impossible task, then the actual travel. I would like to see some places but they are too big of a hassle to get to for me or too expensive. I also do not want to fly both for sensitivities, stress and for the environment. Currently, I don't want to support Russia by using boats either.
Train and night-bus is a nice way to travel close by. I think even though the bus usually smells like carpet (textile dust) and fuel which can make me nauseous, they are usually not very crowded, it's quiet and dark and most people sleep. Trains are often very relaxing if there are no kids or drunks nearby. Toilets is a serious issue for me in all transportation though so if it is too far to hold it to get to a real bathroom, then I might not want to go.
But if I can go alone and I don't have to worry about money (cheap country, not too far away, longer time spent there=less stress) then I can enjoy it. But that has only happened once basically, usually, I hate to travel. Specifically, other people want to go to hot places and touristy locations and shop in malls and lie on beach which do not appeal to me one iota.
I prefer smaller countries in the fall or moderate climates, smaller handcraft shops, small coffee shops, smaller restaurants with outdoor terraces, bookstores, 2nd had stores, maybe some interesting architecture-walks and smaller museums or art exhibitions, quiet relaxing places in the city, people watching and such very low-key activities.
Ideally, if I had the money I would like to travel once a year for a week, only on my birthday, so I don't have to deal with birthdays.
