The sense of
superiority one feels upon return from an overseas holiday. The bearer of travel arrogance will view their friends at home as boring compared to the people they met overseas, most likely in a hostel. They will then isolate themselves from often long
established friends, under the mistaken view that their travels have had a profound change on their
personality. TA can afflict people who have been away for a mere few weeks and is most prevalent among those in their early twenties.
Kate had so much fun getting drunk
on the beach in Bali, she
broke up with Tom as soon as she got home. He knew she had caught travel
arrogance as soon as he saw her braided hair at the airport.
