I don't theink the dis-interest in travel was exclusive to the Mirkwood elves. When the company came to Lothlorien, Haldir did all the speaking because his brothers Rumil and Orophim "spoke little of their tongue". The Galadrim, it is said, lived deep in the forest and had little dealing with the outside world.

It seems to me that in this age most Elves kept to themselves and traveled little. Their time in Middle Earth was drawing to an end. Why involve themselves in the dealings of others?
