DBF and I LOVE traveling. We are mostly outdoors people, so our trips revolve around hiking, seeing wildlife, snorkeling, etc. I am constantly daydreaming and planning the next trip. My next big goal is a sabbatical to Peru to do a Spanish immersion program and see the country. Because of the stuff we do while travelling, sleeping at night usually isn't a problem - we're exhausted by the hiking or whatever we did that day. I too hate crowds of people, so we make efforts to avoid the crowds - up early, go in the off season, and once you get off the main road a little bit, the crowds thin out considerably. I am very prone to seasickness, but will happily get on a boat if the end result is worth it to me - I just spent a month on a boat seeing the Falklands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula and despite the seasickness it was the best trip I've ever been on.
If you don't like traveling, I wouldn't worry about it. I could certainly save a ton of money if I didn't have the wanderlust.
