I didn't think they meant literally the same. That would either be called a group trip, or a coincidence!

Liking beer doesn't really make people the same 'type'. Going to local bars to strike up conversations is great (one of my go-tos!), but those are not the 'same type of people' IMO.

I interpreted OP as a poorly veiled comment about wanting to avoid locals and local culture, instead preferring to beeline for a Starbucks or Gucci in a new city when 'traveling'. Or perhaps some snobbiness about what people like to do when travelling. Both of which are cringe.

Maybe I misinterpreted OP's preferences, though. My opinion is if you're going to use the resources to travel somewhere new, you should enjoy what is there, not seek copies of what you have at home.
