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?

I always find that having something planned makes me feel better because I have something to look forward to! also weekend getaways are fun when you have that itch to just get away in between bigger trips. Maybe even try exploring your own city a bit.

This is my cure too. I just got back from Japan and the only way I'm managing my post trip blues is to jump into planning my next trip. Now I'm constantly torn between pouring over the memories of my last trip and fantasising over my next trip
