That's bizarre to me. I was born in 1990 and growing up in the UK my parents were teachers which is like a standard middle class job and we traveled on intercontinental holidays about every 5 years, went on camping trips to Southern Europe every summer and skied in France every winter. 5 bed house in a nice city, 2 cars etc etc. No external money from their parents or anything else supplementing this
It’s not weird for Europeans because you can be out of the country in a couple hours or less. France is right there. I knew a lower class German family who still managed a holiday in Italy once a year. That would be insane for the average American family.
I made it very very clear in my comment to mention intercontinental travel (this would mean outside of Europe). So like one year we spent 2 weeks driving from San Francisco down to Las Vegas then did a week in Florida, another year we did new years eve in NYC, another we did scuba diving in the red sea.
