...I almost bought the Etihad deal, but I couldn't justify the entire trip's cost for lodging, etc. b/c of major life changes on the horizon.
About hardcore Black millenial travelers and what I've noticed...some of my good friends are frequent travelers. One even joined the foreign service just to live abroad. While they were elated to be out of the country for extended periods of time, I think they missed being around for big life events in for their family and friends. They also missed being with those they had a strong connection and history with, eventually. When I come into contact with others who just work to travel, I feel some lack direction and can be a bit flaky as they're all about getting that next "authentic" experience.
I'll probably join these groups for the fare deals, but their whole mantra about life being about travel was not appealing to me at all, b/c I think life is way more than just accumulating passport stamps. And I love to travel, have been to four continents so far, planning to go to my fifth one this year, lived abroad for some time in college and grad school, and speak one other language fluently and can fairly understand two other languages as well...So I'm not saying this as a Miami-Vegas-Caribbean only traveling American...
