It's just blowing money to go exist in other places. Some people do it to simply avoid boredom. I'd argue it could be a hobby if they are putting effort into learning or collecting things or something.
Traveling and just being there is not a hobby. Traveling to, for example, visit certain types of sites or museums, maybe build a collection of photos or memorabilia, could be considered a hobby.
Isn't doing things to avoid boredom exactly what a hobby is? :D would you consider hiking to be a hobby?
That's a weird take on this. Which person who loves travelling then proceeds to do absolutely nothing at the destination? I mean, maybe you met people like that, but I have never in my life talked to anyone like that.
