Can you long journey?

Can you long journey? -

I was talking about Nicole is more a few days ago about life plans better when I pushed the travel world as I press all traveling the world , While talking to her, I realized that I did not know what I would do if I stopped traveling. In fact I move so long that I can not imagine life any other way. Travel has become a lifestyle for me. Always on the move, always on the road, always somewhere else.

I still have a number of objectives have to visit before I become "semi-nomadic Matt." But finally, I'll slow down. It is inevitable. But that frightens me. I have forgotten what it is, for more than 6 months to live in a place

All this makes me wonder, -. You can travel for too long? If travel is a lifestyle, you're really better off? Most travelers who take a long-term trip do it as a career break or take the infamous break, which lasts for a year to a year and a half. Then it's back home and in the real world. (Not completely, of course, because most people are coming back from trips like this with a new set of work / life priorities. But they still go back.) There are the digital nomads are working from the road and move from place too slowly. Then there are the real long-term travelers like me who have gone for many years, with no end in sight.

This is when travel is a lifestyle. And, like any life, it is hard and scary to dispense. So much courage it takes to go away from the cabin and on the road to head out, it just takes a lot of courage to get away from the street to step and a routine life back. Traveling is finally everything you know. It's all I know. After about 4-5 months in one place, I anxious and nervous, and I have to move again. I think worth seeing at all the goals and think about how I should get it soon. I formulate plans with friends and are planning vacations in distant places. I change constantly, where I am going and to make new plans. This summer, I'm off to Europe, then in Australia and New Zealand. I want to see Africa and South America. All this means that I will be the constantly moving years down the road ahead of me, and I entrenched even more in this life.

But finally we all need a fixed address. We can several months traveling take remote targets, but everyone needs a place to call home. You can spend your time not from one place to another - it is unrealistic. It is a lonely lifestyle always reliable friends say never long enough to be in a place to make a real relationship, never to get to know a place. Everyone needs roots at some point. The long, long time travelers I know finally get a home base.

So you can travel to long? Yes, I think you can. If travel is a way of life, I think it's a sign you've been on the road long. At this point travel is your life - it's what you do, and there is nothing else. They have no home or fixed place, and friendships are always short-lived, because in about 5 months, you will be gone. It is a good way, but not a good way to live, to live forever.

I sometimes think I've been too long on the road. But I am ready even to renounce this lifestyle? No not yet. Because if I think I might be ready, as I remember, I still have not climbed Kilimanjaro, appeared in the South Pacific or sailed the Amazon still down, and then I realize that I still have a bit more with this life that I go run now.
