Elle was sent around the world on jobs when she worked for the Company, but they weren't really vacations. Most 'exploration' or the like would be for the sake of blending in/otherwise for the job. Since then, when she's been moving around on her own, she's dabbled a little more into being a tourist, but it's still not something that comes very naturally to her, a lot because touristy things are part of a world she doesn't really understand.
Asami is one I've been thinking about with this, because her family certainly has the resources to travel, and as Satomobiles seem pretty ubiquitous, I'd have to imagine that Hiroshi would travel for his job. Not to mention their main product is something that makes long-distance transportation a much more viable option for a lot of people. So I tend to think she's been to cities like Ba Sing Se and the Fire Nation capitol, and is the sort of person who would read-her-guideboook and visit landmarks and all that. Maybe because I sort of associate Hiroshi with Theodore Roosevelt, I also tend to think he's a bit outdoorsy now that he can afford to be, and so he and Asami have probably taken a few trips that involved staying in cabins or tents, which is how she's learned to do some basic chores, even if she doesn't need to do them at home. If left to her own devices, Asami would probably prefer brief camping-type trips, and in cities likes historical landmarks and, if they exist, nautical/war/history museums. And shopping. She wouldn't be so much for art museums or things like that, unless it was some particular thing you should really do while in the city, like Ba Sing Se opera. Which I say is a thing.
Leslie is naturally the type of person who when she travels makes a clear itinerary, reads about a dozen guidebooks, and plans out every moment. I haven't decided if she's traveled outside the U.S., but she has been to New York and D.C., and I think she's been to major US landmarks like Mount Rushmore and the Grand Canyon, as well as other major cities, and Disneyworld. It's hard to believe she hasn't been to Disneyworld. If she hasn't traveled abroad, it's only because she hasn't had the money and/or time to do so. But I also think she gets homesick pretty quickly, which is something she's going to have to deal with if she wants to seek state- or federal-level elected office. As it is, though, it can also mean that if she ever takes any vacation/day off time (which she doesn't like to), she'd be just as happy to spend it in I guess what is wooded area around Pawnee, fishing or hunting or making s'mores. With her emergency s'more rations. Which is actually a thing for her.
Manny, ironically, is a travel agent who can't go anywhere. Though "travel" in the Land of the Dead is really all about the smoothest way to get to your destination. Even when he's finally able to leave, I believe Manny later calls his trip across the Land of the Dead "the worst vacation I've ever had." Regardless, Manny's also a super-competitive worker who does things like accidentally come in on Saturdays, so I don't think he was much for vacations when he was alive, either.
