Not your own bed, they got foods of the world in every USA city so don't use that as an excuse, foreign languages, third world is dangerous, expensive and freedom restrictive in first world countries... meh overrated all around.

lazy bastard

Not hardly it's just not my thing at all. Whole time I'm on vacation I'm thinking about working on one of my RC planes in my garage AT HOME. Or going the country club with buddies for 18 holes near HOME. Or going fishing at one of the lakes near HOME. etc etc etc

I'm always doing stuff just you can do so much more AT HOME due to familiar places and assets at your disposal.

If you think about it travel is laziness.. what do you actually accompish while traveling?

I feel the same way, Zebo, except I have rarely travelled.
 
To learn to laugh at life and not take things so seriously. To learn how to be human and how to relate to people rather than just watch them and wish for closeness without knowing how to be close in a proper way.

I've had all the exterior trappings and money things work out well, they're not worth as much as they seemed.

I could go on forever.
You know the "benchpress 200lbs." part is not a whole heck of alot of weight. Sounds like a good place to start.
I already can benchpress 200, but only once or twice. I want to do all 4 sets of 10 at 200.
