    but this guy has some valid points about finding what actually makes you happy and all that.

She has some points, but I think she's missing the broader picture. If you're hanging out with people who say you're living your life wrong, you're hanging out with the wrong people. Or caring too much about the opinions of people who aren't you.

A vacation south to Mexico or the Caribbean is common among my coworkers. There's friendly joking about me preferring to go north in the winter, but it isn't serious. Some people like beaches. Some like icy mountains. Some would rather stay home. Some would rather take their kids to Disney World.

I don't understand why she looks at pictures of people doing zip lines in Costa Rica and feels she has to justify her life.
