Not who you asked, but I'm guessing it's the carbon footprint.

That's true for flying, but taking a bus or train really isn't so bad.

Though I suppose 'travel' often means flying, especially for people in the US.

Especially when it comes to international travel. Mexico isn't the safest destination for an inexperienced traveller, and is Canada really different enough to justify a bus road trip to? (Don't get me wrong, the Quebec poutine is definitely worth experiencing)

Yeah I was talking about flying, and because time is money, most people who travel frequently for pleasure will opt for that over ground transport of any sizeable distance
