The disadvantage Long Term Travel
When I meet people and tell them what to do or how long I been on the road, their response is usually so something like "Wow! that's so awesome! you're so lucky! I wish I could do that!" For most people, my job is the best job in the world. Essentially got, I paid the journey. And who would not want to travel the world, to be paid? But people only think of the good side. After a while I get tired to explain what I'm doing. Well, I rarely ever mention when I meet people. My life is not all glitz and gold, and I hate the bubbly. The grass is always greener on the other side.
When I started my blog, my goal is a travel writer was to be. I wanted my name in travel guides. But then I interviewed leaders and authors quickly realized that their jobs were not the idealized professions I had in my head. They work long hours, have to travel fast, and are under considerable time pressure.
The same can be said about the long-term travel. There are many good things about always traveling. But long-term travel presents you with a lonely existence at times. Like everything, there are many disadvantages.
I once asked if you could travel for too long. Two or three years constant, always-on-the-move travel, a person can wear down. It is not that you can travel for only two years and never again - it's that you just before you yearn for something like roots may be in motion so long. Travel offers people the chance to see new places, experience new cultures, to find and learn about yourself. But if you are on a 6-month 1-year, 2 years, or open-ended trip to meet new people, are it also has disadvantages.
are ephemeral For starters relations. I have said more goodbyes in three years than anyone should say in their lives. I recently traveled with a Canadian girl who said to me: "You must be used to goodbyes huh now" The way she said it was very sad, but she was right. I have to say goodbye to a lot. One of the best things about traveling is all people you meet. But one of the worst things about traveling is all people you meet. After years of hellos and goodbyes, you can choose her become deaf. Sometimes, I just do not want anyone to take. They develop a sense of distance. Why reopen just another, to say goodbye? It makes you guarded. Not always, but sometimes too often. Despite the best intentions and Facebook, you know that 0% of people, put away, you will never see again. Their lives are filled with 24-hour and friends who have made great this short time, but soon disappear. Who wants with a life that is filled?
Second, making it extremely difficult to have a relationship with the opposite sex. It's hard to find love on the road. It happens, but relations are generally last as long as you travel both together, or as long as you both stay in the same city. I have no girlfriend for more than three months in years. I would like to have a longer, but I'm always on the move. In addition, most girls do not want to get with you in a relationship, if they know that it settled no hope for you. It's hard to make a commitment, if you already know, there is no future. The reality, as well as with friendships, relationships are hard - and harder when you know that you are so that only a short time in
Finally, you get tired .. Very tired. By traveling. Of all. After a while, everything is just another "one of." The 100th church, 100. Waterfall, 40 Hostels, 800 bus ride, 0. Bar ... it is not the same after a while. It loses its charm and splendor. Traveling is not exciting. Ask any traveler - eventually, they hit that point where they are sick of traveling. You only need a few days or weeks to recharge their batteries. After three years, I move much slower than before. I am not now in a hurry. If I want to spend 12 hours sightseeing out, I can, but I tend to be for a few hours and relax the rest of the time. After all, I'll be where I am for a while. Slow travel is better trip, and it fights the "just another" syndrome. But still, traveling can be exhausting, and there are times that you want to never see the word "historic" before him ever again something. Some days I want to spend just a week before my computer, movies and television.
Long journey takes a certain type of person to enjoy. They shall be independent, you need to be able to spend a lot of time alone, you have to be flexible, and you have to deal with constant change. After all, how many partings can you tell? How often can you 24-hour-friends? How long can you go without a solid relationship? How long can you move without having a house? These are questions that I wonder about. Finally, I'm going to find the answers. I do not think people can move forever when trying to escape something.
Me, I'm just trying to see things. I have planned another two years of travel before I became semi-nomadic Matt. Two years is a long time away to really know something.
But I know that these disadvantages are like snowballs. You start small, but bigger and bigger the longer you travel. And I think at some point, they roll over us all.
