Thanks ladies for your input - perhaps it is genetic but then a trait heightened by the female gene in some generations? Or perhaps it's like diabetes- simply skips around... Hummm…

Or perhaps it’s like diabetes- simply skips around…

In my immediate family, my desire to travel is certainly the strongest. My dad, while he enjoys roadtripping across the U.S., would probably be perfectly content to never leave the country. My mom enjoys visiting other countries, but primarily well-developed countries (i.e. Europe). My three brothers have varying degrees of travel desire, and I'm thinking that one or another might end up with a desire to match mine, but they haven't shown it yet (though the youngest is 7 years behind me, so he still has time), though they have all ventured out of the U.S. and enjoyed it.

However, my brother doesn't have the same desire...so maybe socialization has a stronger effect on some than others?? It is really curious how travel gets in some people's blood while it makes other people's blood curl with the thought of a strange environment, foods, language and everything else that comes with getting outside the comfort zone.
