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.

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.
