I’m there too! So looking forward to some nights in my own bed, it’s not even funny! Haha.
Thanks for reading!

Love this post. It’s 100% what I needed to hear right now. Finally at a point where I’m burnt out from travel and all I want is a month in my own apartment, dammit! Love your writing and your honesty 🙂

In reply to Lucy Smith. Thanks for reading, Lucy. I think we could all use a little break and chill out! :D So glad it was helpful. Wishing you all the best and have a great next big trip! We're so lucky to be able to travel. Savor it.

Wow this is a really great post. So needed to read this. I’ve got my next big trip coming up and I should be excited but I’ve been so consumed by thoughts on the future and what to do when I come back that I’m forgetting to slow down. There’s no rush and I need to remind myself more to chill out and give myself a break. Thanks!

In reply to Chanel | Cultural Xplorer. Yes, we often forget how exhausting all the busyness is - at home or while traveling! It can be difficult to sit still, or even painful! Ha. But I think there is something valuable in that discomfort, and that is what I'm currently exploring :D

In reply to Cassie | Ever In Transit. It's a really tough balance. For those of us who love travel so much, it can be difficult to not make it our entire lifestyle (especially when we could!) But I do believe we have the ability to make conscious choices about how we want to live. For some people this is more travel, others more home. For me it's just knowing when I need one more than the other.

I definitely can relate to some of the things that you mentioned in this post. I remember doing a whirlwind 7 weeks in 7 European countries last summer and by the end, I was tired of traveling and needed a break from my break. At home, while it is nice sometimes to sit down and relax, in the culture of busyness (especially in NYC), I find it hard to be still for two long – I find myself constantly going back and forth between wanting to travel and wanting to take life slowly.
