This got me thinking about vacation types. There is definitely this type. And then there’s my type. I think it’s all about what you are vacationing FROM:

If your job is routine and your life is pretty predictable because you have low to medium autonomy, a vacation can be a chance to flex your self-direction muscle!
Or a vacation can be all about endorphins and adventure because regular life doesn’t match your naturally high idling energy. You know those people who are wired tight. They have to almost die regularly to feel alive.
Then there’s me. I’m a slow, round, low idling humanoid with high professional autonomy and daily variety. My vacation is basically “put me in a culturally appropriating meditation cult that brings me food three times a day”.
I forgot a type, which might be relevant here: the IG vacationers. It doesn’t matter if they have fun as long as they have pictures that LOOK fun which they will remember *as* fun because that’s how brains wired on media and tiny mediated disruptions work.
When every trip has to generate “content” to last longer than your travel budget will allow you to make new content - you gotta be up every day of vacation at 6 am. That’s just factory floor math.
