Leisure travel is an immersive state of consumption. Most of us don’t really have a way to think about “seeing a new place” that’s not about choosing what to consume next, whether it’s food and drink, experience, or objects to purchase. You can go somewhere to volunteer, worship, or practice aikido, but it’s not something that just happens. You have to make this intention the organizing principle of your trip, and at that point, is it really leisure travel anymore? To discover a place is, virtually by default, to consume it.
