Question Do you roll your eyes at "domestic travellers"?

I was speaking to this lady at lunch today and the topic of travel came up.

She mentioned how much she travels and can't wait to get on a plane again. At this point I was all eager to be enthralled by some tales of foreign adventure. However, she starts going on and on about BOS, MIA, NYC, SFO, etc. By this point I'm getting bored, and asked her about any travels outside of the US. She replies "Oh no, I don't even have a passport".

After hearing that I'm in my mind. Now I'm not knocking her for not going outside the US, but to start talking about how much she "travels" is a bit much.

Am I the only one who defines travel as going to a destination outside of your home culture?
