In reply to Scott at VacationCounts. Hi Scott, thank you for your thoughtful comment. I agree that balance is the key. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing! Travel is a wonderful opportunity to step outside of your bubble, and I fear that if I traveled full-time it would cease to be that. Having a home, no matter your definition, is an important part of having a full life (at least to me.)

I often think that if we all decided to become full-time travelers, who would do all the work to keep society running? 🙂 Without all those working people, we would have fewer reasons for wanting to visit so many wonderful places around the world. So thanks to all the people that didn’t quit their jobs to travel the world 🙂
I also agree that part-time travel is the ideal for a healthy and happy work-life-travel balance. That way we can enjoy the place we call home, travel as often as possible now, and save up for a long future of travel opportunities.

Love that not traveling full-time means you’ll have something to look forward to. I immediately thought of the school children who felt sorry for Pippi Longstocking (who never went to school) because she never got vacation. It really is about balancing the things you love, and furry friends are definitely worth staying home for!

In reply to NZ Muse.

Food fatigue, does that exist? No I hear you. Spend enough time in Italy and all of sudden you don’t need that daily gelato…
I’m so glad you liked the post. I love what you wrote in yours: “I love to travel, but home is where the heart is.” I hope you get the chance to live in NYC someday if that is how you truly feel about it! 🙂

I LOVE this post! I wrote my own take on this just last month: http://nzmuse.com/2014/07/interested-full-time-travel/
Too much of anything, even travel, is not good.
And hell yes to the temple fatigue. Food fatigue, even.
I think my soul city is NYC but I wouldn’t want to live there (maybe for a couple of years but no longer).

In reply to Lance | Trips By Lance.

Hey Lance! That’s an interesting way to look at full-time travel and routine, one that I hadn’t really thought about.
I have yet to visit Memphis but it’s high up on my list of USA cities to visit. I agree that part-time travel is “the best of both worlds” and I’m glad you’re making it happen despite the challenges 🙂
