Why does my son like visiting weird countries?

When he was a kid, I used to buy him a subscription to National Geographic. He was always looking at maps and globes. On parent's day at his high school, they had a competition: who can find Bhutan on a map? He won. He did poorly in mathematics in high school, having to take trigonometry over in the summer, but he could name every country on Earth and its capital.



Now he's 37 and married with no kids (by choice I reckon as his wife is a year older than him), he works as a college instructor teaching English to immigrants. He has now visited over 40 countries and shows no signs of slowing down.



When my neighbors ask how he's doing, I have to explain that instead of working a job that offers advancement and prestige, he's spending his summers visiting places like Iran, Pakistan, India, Colombia, Cuba, Bolivia, Tunisia and the Philippines.



He doesn't live off me and funds this stuff himself, which is good, but why can't I have a normal kid?Why does my son like visiting weird countries?
he hasnt visited me in Somalia and met my Pirates..yet.. ?
Be thankful that he has a wife, he's not gay, and that he's healthy and works. I'm 42 years old and have been praying for and looking for a wife for twenty years to no avail. I've also been out of work by no choice of my own many years during that time.Why does my son like visiting weird countries?
I guess he likes to be more geographically diverisified.
he's multi-cultural.

I have a friend who visits Europe and Asia every year.

I neve really understood this urge for adventure either.
Home is a place of comfort.Why does my son like visiting weird countries?
the traveling bug is like an addiction. after a while you can't settle. traveling salesmen and truck drivers know all about it. and explorers, etc. your son's a ramblin man.
Are you being a troll by any chance? Cancun and Disneyland are boring. Corporate jobs are boring and don't add anything to society. He is a teacher who is helping less well off children. Sounds like a decent guy to me.
and you're complaining?! Were I you I'd be shouting to the world that my son is a world traveler who goes to other countries and helps people! he's like a "Green Beret" without the weapon!
Nothing is wrong with you son!

Maybe your the problem old one!
What is so weird about those countries.
You sound like trailer trash and like a very obnoxious woman. He's 37, why don't you go get a life? There are worse things than a man with the freedom to work in a job of his choosing traveling the world. Do you have a job? Or should women be stay at home mothers, too? Hahahaha



These idiot classmates of his probably go to Cancun to recapture the youth they lost when they got knocked up at 17 and had to marry young. Sweetie, you don't even sound like you work so whatever job these Mexicans are taking, it is one you clearly aren't doing.



Well this was fun. PS- I really hope this question was purely sarcastic... lol too funny
