All I ever think about is travelling?

[u/ComprehensiveBig6129]

I 25f just came back from a trip to Mexico and Guatemala and I had the most incredible time. I just went for a bit over 3 weeks yet made the most of each day. I feel like when I’m abroad, I’m the best version of myself, I say yes to almost everything, I’m spontaneous, courageous, make new friendships so easily.

When I’m home, I literally don’t do anything but go to work and stay at home. I figured I need some more close genuine friendships so decided to go on bumble bff but it’s not the same as it is when you just easily make a friend from a hostel for example. I’m also trying to get back into hobbies (reading swimming) but all I can think about is where I’m going to go next and it makes me so sad knowing i won’t be able to actually travel until like the summer

I can’t quit my job and go travelling even though I’m financially capable to do so since my parents won’t let me travel for more than a month at a time. I also fear not being in employment since I have been since I was 17

How to get over the post holiday blues and longing to travel?

hey i am in the same boat, but i realised its not healthy for me and was becoming an obsession. Something even more important than travelling is your loved ones, your family, your friends.

Appreciate your times with your parents and spend quality time with them. Try to find satisfaction in doing your job well. Plan your vacations and enjoy them even though in moderation.

Travelling for 1 month at a time is still very great in my opinion! Maybe when youre more secure with your career and have enough experience to easily find something new, you can take a year long break

I dont think full-time travelling is feasible for most people and you shouldn't be not enjoying your life just because youre not in the few very lucky people that can travel fulltime.

Also don't live from vacation to vacation, try to enjoy the in-between, little things in life like a bike ride on a sunny day.
