Tips for Travel mechanics

So our group is going to be doing a large scale travel section, where we'd be going all over Golarion, including hard to get to places like Arcadia, this will be my first experience with Travel, and outside of "you get there" I've never cared for or wanted to deal with Travel, we're lvl 18 now and I cant imagine anything that will be anything more than a minor inconvenience, now the other 3 players seem like they are all for this, but I am really not looking forward to it, it purely seems like a resource drain to me.

Has anyone had good experiences with travel?
I would like to hear some stories, hopefully those will make me look forward to it more, but it does seem dull at best, I feel the same way for survival mechanics too, its unbelievable that people who can fight demons and monsters, use magic and combat impossible odds could succumb to weather and starving to death.

Edit: I am one of the players, and the other players seem to be fine with travel stuff
