The travel bug
Even with the best medication in the world, there is no cure
for the travel bug. We all acquire it while we are travelling the
world. The symptoms start to surface a couple of weeks after
we arrive home. It starts as a feeling that we want to go
exploring again. Everything is boring at home. Nothing
changes. It is like you have hit a brick wall. And you know
something that no one else knows. Something you discovered
while travelling. It is easy. For us, taking off to another
country is like driving to a nearby city.
When you arrive back home, the first two weeks are all new
and exciting. You are living high and revisiting all the places
that you left behind. It’s just like visiting a new place in
another country. Checking out new and exciting places and
meeting excellent and interesting people. But soon after all of
that is done, what do you do now? The urge to get out of your
current environment and back to travelling is pretty strong.
If I were offered a trip to anywhere in the world right now, I
could be ready in under an hour if I was really interested in
going. It is simply that easy now.
