you seem cool. nothing more insufferable than a 20-something year old that traveled around europe/asia on daddy's dime and then never shuts the gently caress up about it and brings it up everytime they speak. they aren't more enlightened or a special snowflake, millions of people do it.

gently caress I'd do it too if I had rich parents, wouldn't brag about it though.
