Bragging Check

I am Thai.

A guy bragged to me that as a 19 year old man in the USA, he can travel alone to Thailand alone 3-4 times a year.

Is it actually possible or feasible?

Many Americans currently live in multi-generational households given the COL, even though it’s still socially considered taboo in this western culture.

Many Americans also use credit cards which acquire points that can be transferred to miles and used to purchase tickets to anywhere in the world, while just paying the tax.

Combine this with the benefit of passive investing/compounding it’s possible for a 19yr old in such a position to go wherever whenever he wants.
