It’s not that it’s “not for me”. It’s just there is no need or time for it in my life. I can barely fit everything into my busy life as it is.

As about other cultures not only I travel A LOT, a lot of my friends live in other countries, we talk about each other’s surrounding including things like native animals (your example). These are people I know. Perhaps if I didn’t travel or didn’t know people living in other cultures, I’d have online friends to learn all that.

I am not against online friendships, I just don’t have it. I sometimes feel i neglect people I do know because there are only 24 hours in a day! I can’t imagine justifying looking for online friends.
