How to Act Like a Rich Person
Aww, these poor little rich kids want to travel guilt-free. Idn’t dat pwethouth?
So, there they are, spending $10,800 per person on a luxury African safari where they learned about the Maasai , efforts in reforestation, and something called “AIDS.”
Look, if you want to travel and you have the money, do it. Just don’t kid yourself that you’re helping the local people by going there and planting one tree instead of simply giving them the $10K.
“I really think people are putting their lives in perspective,” in light of the recession, said Kristi Jones, president of the travel agency network. “There is this need for people to feel reconnected and rejuvenated, but not in a self-indulgent way.”
Yep, no self-indulgence here.
