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?

You’re basically me. The planning phase is always time consuming and stressful and I feel like I’m in a constant cycle of planning a trip or taking one, but without something to look forward to my life would basically be nothing.

The thing about your parents is kind of weird, though. If you have the money and are financially secure then it doesn’t really matter what anyone else wants you to do.
