Aw that’s kinda mean. You can learn a lot about someone from why they took a trip like that. Was she checking out art museums? Or the summer festivals? Or shopping? Or visiting relatives? Did she have to save up to go, or was she using daddy’s credit card? etc.
Talking about travel is one of the best ways to find topics of overlapping interests. For me, food and drink are pretty important ways for me to connect to people, so talk about travel is always helpful for figuring out what we have in common in terms of food preferences, what we find interesting (cooking, gardening, restaurants, grocery shopping, books about any of this stuff, etc.).
Are they, though? The original comic reads to me to be a bit more condescending towards the idea of travel as a concept, and especially towards small talk about travel as a past experience.

It also helps you know who pays for their lifestyle and what kind of lifestyle they want to have.
I think you learn more about someone based on what they do in their spare time instead of a one time luxury spend.
I say this having “travelled” and been a migrant to two countries and at least one continent, maybe two depending on how you view it.
This. There’s a lot of people who claim they’re into hiking despite only having done it once.
Find someone who’s regularly doing something interesting, they’re the actually interesting people.

Right but in this case they’re referring to the kind of person where that one, potentially shallow, trip is all they have to talk about.

Yes
Could be a sugar mama, too.
