Thats the fun saxib. There's nothing wrong with an escape here and there as long as the fix you are using aint damaging those around you or your health. Escapes can be a good book or a great tv show or even a hobby. Its good for the mental health to have a balance and a break here and there. Travelling is a great way to experience this. Get out of the sunken place brother this path aint good for you.
One of my biggest regrets I have mentioned in this place is me not being able to travel before I had my kid. As it’s very difficult now, but I’ve been able to visit the states with cousins. I had to plan it out months ahead and make sure it was during a time I had a break in school and my mom would be able to watch my child.
Travelling is super fun and enjoyable to some and even when I went to Dubai with my mother and I ventured out to the market place with her, its even fun to just grab a coffee and sit down and people watch and even have folks ask where your from and when they ask questions about Canada.
Personally, I love learning about new cultures and seeing people from different places and when they curious about life in the west.
So to that guy he may see it as useless, whereas others see it as fun.
