Hello fellow steemians,
I know I am going to start some fierce discussion by asking this question. Do you have to be rich to travel? I know there will be various opinions on this issue based on my previous experience. Would be great to hear you out in the comments below.
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

You don't need to be rich to travel. But you need to travel to be rich :)

This sums up exactly what I wanted to say -- I love it! Some people take very expensive vacations but never really venture outside of their hotels, while others travel cheaply, but aren't afraid to venture off the beaten path to really get to know the place they're visiting. I think the latter will end up with the better experience.

Spot on:)....Thank you! I like to hear that since the last time I got some negative feedback that one has to be rich to travel which is, in my opinion, not correct....

Exactly! Travelling is not about staying in expensive hotels, flying first class or eating in expensive restaurants. That certainly is a way to do it as well if one can afford it but cheap train ride or low-cost airline, friends house to stay in or maybe a little job on the way to add some funds is a very enriching way to discover the world.... Well, just my thoughts....Tomas

Yes. I feel you, Tomas. For me travelling is about the experience, things you see, discovering the culture and connecting with local peoples. Not expansive hotels, that anyone can do in his living town

I guess it depends on how you want to travel!
If you want to travel in first class, stay in luxury hotels and eat at the fanciest restaurants then you may have to be rich ( I say "may" since there are still ways that you can travel like this without money.)
However, there are always ways to travel without a lot of money. That's part of the fun of traveling for me. Finding those good deals and booking a trip on a whim!
The state I live in has the highest cost of living out of anywhere in America but my wife and I are still able to travel. It really comes down to what other sacrifices that you are willing to make in your everyday life that will allow you to do what you love.

I say you need to travel as much as you can while spending as little as you can. There are ways to travel without spending tons of money.

you raised such a question which made me to think for a while..... with regards to this question my answer is travelling the world does not means going through all the countries to have a rich experience there you just have to reflect your own life with respect to those of others ..... there maybe a quite bit of difference but i think that makes sense.... love your post....

I am sure there are many things one could still do without being in the upper 1%. However as someone who has never left the US I think its safe to say that traveling is often a luxury most lower or middle class citizens can not afford

I would not necessarily agree on that since one does not have travel very far to explore..... I know way to many people that have not even traveled around my own country or the neigbouring countries where you can get comfortably on a very low budget.... just a difference of opinion.... I believe it really is based on what one really wants to do in life and we all have different priorities which is perfectly fine..... Thank you for your comment and have a great day!
