I've got the opposite problem. I've never travelled, so I feel like I can only ever talk about really mundane things.

I travelled a lot but have shit memory so I can't recount much

And write a recap as youre going or right after you get back. You'll recall it all reading it years later better.

I keep getting told that no one will want to see my travel photos. Maybe it's because I'd rather show them in person instead of posting on social media?

I just take them so I can remember personally.

Literally me, if it was up to my memory it would seem like I've never left my hometown

No matter where you live, there are guaranteed to be non mundane things going on. You just dont see or interact with them.

Live in the midwest, can't confirm.

There are lots of people who travel but still only have mundane things to say because all they did was eat food and not venture outside of the TripAdvisor Top 10 Things To Do in X City

The mundane things make us who we are. Travel is not something most people can do.

No matter where you go, there you are.

My problem is a different opposite. I grew up abroad but haven't really traveled since. It wasn't my choice and it's got fuckall to do with anything, so I loathe talking about it.

And every time I meet someone it's like "Hey, where're you coming from? There's something in your accent I can't place."

Off road cycling, kayaking, open water swimming? Surely these are not overly mundane things and can be done locally.
