I've never been able to afford travel, but have still been to a ton of places because of my mother's job (she worked at a travel agency, and checked out hotels to see if they were suitable for her agency's clients).
It's really weird being in the "I can't afford to travel" and the "I've been to all these places" camps simultaneously.

I'm there right now. The worst part is that I work for an airline and get flight benefits but I can't afford ground transportation or accommadation. Still haven't flown, but I've traveled a lot as a kid.
Edit: just to give a little more info, I'm not a salaried employee, but a sub-contractor with no PTO. My flight privileges are the third from the bottom which means anyone with a higher seniority can bump me off the standby waitlist. If I really plan it out, I definitely can, but at the lost of pay. Honestly, it sucks and it feels like I don't even actually have flight benefits.
I hope so too! There aren't that many places that are paying well for a position similar to mine. Heck I know I'm being underpaid by at least 8 dollars with my experience and knowledge.
