If someone on /trv/ calls it reddit then you either A) found the spot they thought was neat B) found a perfectly normal to go to placeWhen you realize something like 75% of this board is NEETS faking social security or welfare benefits and maybe some "vets" who got disability because they stubbed their toe and live abroad, you stop caring so much. Last year I took the plunge and met up with some 4chan people from /trv/ in Asia and Europe... Let me tell you only like 1 or 2 of the dozen I met had anything resembling a well balanced life. Most of them were just along the lines of "yeah I might be living in a turd world shithole but at least I am not back in <major EU/US city> filled now with migrants and nogs!"

I had just been thinking that the catalog was surprisingly clear of shit threads lately. I guess we're onto the next wave.

Most obscure/off the beaten track travel destination suck becuase it's just miles of road and run down shacks alongside them.
If you look at anywhere in Jericho besides the more tourist areas it's just cars.

not really
the actual reason
if you're on /trv/ and not a coomer / neet
you likely already traveled a lot or you have some specific niche interest in some region
then of course all the normie destination are boringlike yeah Tokyo, Bangkok or Seoul cool and all, but I don't need to go there for the 7th time in the last 10yalso there's little value in suggesting <most average thing to do>
because you can get the same information from chatgpt or literally any travel blog / sitethe only reason why I'm on /trv/ is exactly to get these niche tips
obviously do your own research
but knowing why
>Kandra, Jharkhand
might be interesting, is the reason why this board isn't a shithole

Just admit it. You've always been happiest when you are doing the "in" thing that everybody else is doing. You're a beta; that's your nature. So go enjoy your beta trend-follower life and stop bothering the rest of us with your sniveling.

The /trv/ board operates on a philosophy of aggressive counter-signaling and a pathological obsession with "authentic" suffering. To understand why they post like this, you have to look at how they define themselves against the rest of the internet.1. The "Reddit" vs. "Autist" DichotomyIn the /trv/ worldview, there are two types of people: tourists (Redditors) and travelers.The "Redditor": Someone who visits "curated" experiences—London, Tokyo, or Paris. They want safety, English-speaking guides, and Instagrammable landmarks. To /trv/, this is "plastic" and "soulless."The "Traveler": Someone who seeks the "raw" reality of a place. On /trv/, "raw" usually translates to "industrial, impoverished, or dangerous."2. Status Through ObscurityStatus on 4chan is earned by having a higher barrier to entry than the average person. Anyone can buy a flight to Rome, but it takes a specific type of person to spend months in a non-descript industrial town in Jharkhand, India. By praising these places, users signal that they have the "grit" to handle the "real world" that "normies" are too afraid to see.3. Hyper-Ironic ElitismA lot of these posts are performative. Users take a valid desire for off-the-beaten-path travel and push it to an absurd extreme to mock others. It’s a form of gatekeeping where the goal is to make common experiences feel shameful. If you enjoyed your trip to a major city, you "failed" the test of being a "real" traveler.4. The "Path of Most Resistance"There is a belief on the board that misery equals merit. If you didn't get food poisoning, sleep on a concrete floor, or find yourself in a situation where nobody speaks your language, you didn't actually "experience" the culture—you just watched it through a window.AnswerThe /trv/ board uses hyper-ironic elitism and counter-signaling to reject mainstream tourism, valuing obscure, uncomfortable experiences as a way to distinguish themselves from "normie" travelers.

I don't go travelling to visit McDonalds. I like checking out lesser known places.

Because this place is full of bitter losers who will desperate clutch at any opportunity to feel superior to normies. The truth is that 99% of places are famous for a good reason. Sure overtourisn exists but almost everything worth seeing is famous. Almost everyone enjoys those places. Mostly because they don't just do sightseeing, they also meet people, party, make friends, hook up, etc. When you're a disillusioned autist without anything going for you of course you'll think being well travelled is some kind of incredible humblebrag. Meanwhile everyone and their mother has travelled and travelling hasn't impressed anyone for at least the past fifteen years. I've met idiots like that IRL, name dropping some obscure shitholes to women and expecting people to give a shit only to be politely ignored. Just look at most generals it's just desperate losers talking about hookers in SEA mostly, that alone should tell everything about the average poster. Its probably also a millennial thing because you love being contrarian and hipster.
