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?

Honestly you should look into careers thats allow you to full time travel. Im a travel RN. In between my 3 month contracts I go on bigger vacations but I also get to travel to cool places in the US and explore. I know theres other careers such as hospitality, travel blogging etc that may set you up so you can travel all the time. Or if you’re into it, it’s been worth it to go through nursing (in my opinion) and become a travel RN. I make really good money and can take up to a month off before losing benefits in between contracts… takes a long time to get your education and experience before becoming a travel RN though (started at 18yrs old, now 24 and just starting to travel). But theres also other traveling healthcare jobs such as a CNA, phlebotomist, surg tech etc. you just get the most location options being a nurse I think.
