Traveling is a strange phenomenon that has mutated into a narcissistic behavior. Not sure where it comes from.

Sedentary isn't the word you're looking for.

One of the dictionary definitions of “sedentary” refers to living in the same spot and not traveling, usually used in anthropology to talk about non-nomadic populations.

Traveling is something I live for. It’s been a great joy in my life to see and experience the variety of nature and culture around the world. You can certainly warp it into an extravagant experience though. I’m struggling to see where narcissism comes in though - maybe travel with the intent of showing off on social media?
Humans have been traveling pretty much their entire existence. Being sedentary seems to be a much more recent development.
