I've noticed that as I simplify my life, I don't feel strong "wants" as much as I used to. For example, shopping malls used to excite me, but now I just feel like I drift aimlessly through these places.
That being said... This weekend, my housemates are traveling to a very large city, and I am tagging along. Unfortunately, there is a lot of indecision in the group about what to do. Group indecision frustrates me, and I typically like to address these situations with lots of suggestions and strong opinions to help everyone focus in on a plan of action. However, this time I'm really struggling. I don't feel like this very large city has anything to offer me! I don't care for shopping, or nightlife, so I suggested a museum... this isn't a very exciting option for everyone though. I definitely enjoy hiking/biking/nature exploration but it's a large metropolitan area, again the group wasn't a fan of these ideas. ("We're just going to sit in a park!?")
I understand that I may just be with a bad group, but I sense that there should be some SIMPLE options that I'm not considering. Why should simple living limit my social life? I guess in some ways simple living will inherently clash with the ideals of a big city... but I also suspect I'm limited by my own lack of creativity or travel experience.
Any tips on making the most of travel? Even if it doesn't specifically relate to my example, I'm curious what some of you do when traveling for fun.
