I did come here to post a much less eloquent version of what you both did say. For me the problem is someone telling me how I should experience something. I travel and experience countries and cultures the way I do it, bringing with me who I am and my whole past. Some times I plan a lot about where to go and what to do and other times I travel to a place and then find what is to do and see there, or even walk around to see if I find something interesting. I like to do it my way, but someone telling me that I need to do it this or that way will not make my experience any better. I like reading about others experiences, but even if I did travel to the same place, did the same things, and talked with the same persons as I was reading about, it would not be the same experience because with me is I, not that person that had the other experience.
