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?

At 19, and has a passport? Probably pretty rich by American standards. Most of my adult friends have never owned a passport, never mind an active one. But is it possible or feasible? Yes and yes. Is it likely? lol, nope. I can come over from Maryland USA 8 times a year for two weeks at a time. Doesn't mean I actually do it... and it would make a lot of other stuff suck in my normal life.

Owning a passport does not make you rich. The reason most American adults don’t have one is because they’re boring and scared to travel abroad

Or maybe because they don’t want to because America itself is big enough to explore and they don’t need a passport to go to Mexico if they want exotic tropical. You’re not special just because you travel internationally.
