Meaning

This reads as a blunt boundary around comfort and self-protection. Wallace is not talking about travel in general, but about refusing a version of it that feels punishing, and the joke-like firmness makes the limit sound practical rather than precious. It lands when someone is weighing the cost of convenience against exhaustion, and decides certain discomforts are simply not worth it.
