I don’t understand

“I listen to a LOT of podcasts, many of them travel-related. My problem with this podcast is reflected by the episode descriptions which, in other podcasts, describe the content of the episode. This podcast's descriptions are literally, "Johnny Smith has traveled to 135 countries."
As much as I love to travel, I've never understood counting stamps on a passport. I've listened to several of these episodes, and it's shocking how many people tell stories like, "I landed in Central African Republic at 5:00pm, checked into my hotel, and had to get to the airport the next day at noon for my flight to Cameroon."
I wish someone could explain to me the point. Having listened to several episodes now, I still am not understanding. When I get a stamp in my passport, that stamp represents experiences, memories, people I've met, food I've eaten, music I've heard, festivals I've attended, hikes I've taken. It's not just ink on a page representing country #43.
In addition, this podcast might as well be renamed "Privileged white people bored with their jobs." I don't guilt them for their privilege (I am privileged, myself.) But the superficiality with which they travel seems to take that privilege for granted, and that bothers me.”Read full review »

“I'm working my way through all these podcasts and really enjoying it. As a world traveler myself, I have grown a bit weary of others' often similar travel stories. But these fascinating people and their experiences are truly unique. Ric does a great job pulling great stories from them....”Read full review »
