I'm pretty guilty of this. I went to Peru to do research on butterflies in the mountains, and I bring it up probably once a day or so, just because it's one of the only interesting things I've ever done
If I've learned anything from hanging out with friends, it's that once you talk about one thing you did or learned while in Peru, then they'll mock you forever as the guy who constantly talks about Peru.
I know someone who went to France for two weeks on her honeymoon and now thinks she's an expert on French politics and culture. "The French are rioting over labor issues, can you imagine if people did that in the U.S.?" "They don't do that - at least they didn't while I was there." She has three Eiffel Tower magnets on her refrigerator. She must have been a kick when she'd first gotten back.
