14 signs you’re a travel addict
I think I might be a travel addict. It occurred to me the other day when dreaming up our next trip that I have an unhealthy view of the world (ie. the view that I work in between my holidays) and that I’m not alone in this.
A few of the signs that you’re a travel addict;
- Films make you want to travel, books make you want to travel, music makes you want to travel, and sitting on the bus makes you want to travel.
- Your wardrobe mostly consists of snowshoes, flip-flops, travel guides and different-sized travel bags and suitcases.
- The realisation that cheesy touristy stuff can actually be ace, you have to know all the hacks to make it much less awful dawns on you.
- Long haul is your jam (click here for all my long haul tips) you know exactly which pharmacies in London sell the best homoeopathic jetlag tablets (because you’ve literally tried every trick in the book) and which time flights to book to work in with your sleep pattern.
- You’ve slept sitting up, along airport benches, on dusty coaches, and on trains – in fact, sleeping in your own bed seems weird.
- Local travel? Yes, please. International Travel? Yes, please! Jet lag? Oh, go on then!
- Your email inbox is flooded with travel deals, blogposts with exotic locations and a weekend not either a) planning something fun or b) out and about feels like an utter waste.
- You work to fund your next trip.
- Your home decoration consists of maps, postcards and stunning travel moment photos.
- You can’t buy milk because every coin in your home is in overseas currency.
- Once you’ve booked a holiday somewhere, every waking hour is spent researching things to do and places to see.
- You’re already planning the next trip before the return flight touches down on the tarmac.
- Deep down you know that you will never, ever be free of your wanderlust.
- You read articles called ’16 signs you’re a travel addict’ and mentally go ‘yes, yes, yes, ohh yes’…
I think I might need to start a Travellers Anonymous support group.
What was your moment of addiction realisation? (Just remember, admitting you have a problem is the first step to a health).
