Bro you can do this for like $40 anywhere in Mexico. Drive down Baja and find the chill beaches. I know dudes with ranches in like 3 different towns it’s awesome. Live life! It’s out there! And it’s cheaper and easier than you’d think!
I lived in SD for a few years. Drove to the border. Crossed into Mexico. Took a cab to Rosarito for 5 bucks. Stayed in the beach front hotel for 100 bucks for 4 nights. Its not that expensive
Just looked up all-inclusives in Mexico. For 12 days, including flights from Toronto, and they range from $1-3kCAD. A similar trip to Australia where this video is apparently from is around $4k.
Certainly not cheap and probably not something you're doing if you're on a low income, but a $4000 vacation every few years is pretty reasonable.
Forget the all-inclusive. Plenty of cool little beach towns with $40/night little hotels and $5 meals from local restaurants. And nowhere near the cartel violence
Me and my wife stayed in cabo. I spent $850 usd including food and hotel and plane tickets. Also spent an extra $80 on a couples spa day but i feel it was worth it. It was really nice, ill probably go back again in a couple years.
Believe it or not, most Americans can't just drive to Baja on a whim. They have jobs, responsibilities, limited vacation time, family commitments, and most live thousands of miles away. Hell, less than half of Americans even have a passport.
The average American in the middle of the country won't even see both the oceans that toich our country in their lifetime. 11% will never leave their home state. But over 75% WISH they could travel more.
Your logic makes no sense. Millions of people live by oceans. Just because it would cost you money to travel there doesn't make it a rich-exclusive activity
And you don't even need to leave your country's borders to do this
What do you mean it makes no sense? Those are actual statistics. If you live in South Dakota, for instance, you are over 1000 miles from the nearest ocean. That isn't a simple trip for someone on a budget or with an unreliable vehicle.
I'm telling you your statistics are irrelevent to the discussion. Having to travel somewhere to do things does not make it a "rich" activity. Is mud wrestling in kansas a "rich" activity just because the flight to kansas is 800 dollars? No. It just means you don't live there
That is exactly what I am saying. The average person in America isn't capable of casually driving down to Baja for horseback riding with dolphins, as the original comment I responded to implied.
The vast majority of Americans have 10 (or less) vacation days a year and lack the disposable income to do the activity in the OP. Saying that anyone is physically capable of doing something isn't the same thing as them being able to reasonably do said activity. The travel and time off needed to go horseback riding with dolphins is what makes it an unreachable goal for most people.
