I think that most Americans don't even travel enough in our own country. My best friend from college has only been outside of his home state twice in the past 10 years!
The other thing that gets to me is the people who do travel and they spend all their time eating at fast food chains and drinking crappy beer in the hotel bar. I've found so many cool pubs and restaraunts just wandering around when I am in a place I've never been before. I've had great home cooked meals at corner cafes and I've seen plenty of unique things and met plenty of interesting people when I am traveling. You just need to get out of the hotel bar and explore.
The only touristy thing I do is collect shot glasses from all the places I go. Otherwise, I try to see it like a local.
