how do you guys deal with the post vacation blues after getting back to your dreary life
i enjoy lying in bed playing SighSee
start planning the next one
hell - have the next one already lined up
This. Plus, you should probably have more interests in your life than just travel, right? Get back from a great trip, and now your home where you can get on with your collecting sand, or whatever the fuck it is that interests you.
I don't think I can cope tbh, always start to really hate my job when I get back, eventually end up quitting if I don't have another trip lined up
I'm part of the new digital aristocracy and work remote from wherever I want. sucks to be a peasant wagie, back in your cage till next year i suppose.
>digital aristocracy
Unless you own a business, employ other people, and are incorporated and banking in jurisdictions that do not tax your turnover you are just a wagie without an office
>actually falling for it
>own a business,
even low level sole proprietor?
personally speaking i resume doing copious amounts of drugs and fapping just like i did before i left
I spent the last 3 months in SEA and had so much fun. I like to pick a job, save for about a year, then go blow all my money living like a king until I can barely afford to fly home and start the process over again. It also helps if you aren't a little pussy and can appreciate every day you wake up.
what are your long term plans
This is common? That's good. I spent a week in California last year. Seeing the mountains and desert and driving through the rich beach towns and driving up the 1 and wandering around San Francisco. When I got back home to Chicago I wanted to kill myself. Who would want to live in the Midwest when places like California exist?
You should move there
Calis god awful, i lived here all my life, overrated, too expensive as well. The good times were when my parents were young and could buy cheap houses literally almost anywhere. I just want to go back to europe. I was living in europe for 3 months painting, dating beautiful eastern european and german girls. I get back to california and see a bunch of fat latinas everywhere and urban concrete jungles. Wanna kms right now.
Lots of weed, starting with the flight home. Or sooner
I don't it feels like hell
Immediately start looking up places I want to go next and deciding when I'll go.

My life isn’t dreary; if I had to complain about it I would say it’s sometimes stressful, but it’s seldom boring.
But when I wish I were on vacation I go and get a meal or a drink somewhere I’ve never been, maybe in another town/city (or even neighboring country, although I know most people don’t live in border towns) if time permits.
I’ve been lucky enough to never have to live somewhere I didn’t enjoy at least some of the time (maybe except when I was a little kid, in a farm town with no transit, sidewalks, or even a real town center, just a few strip malls; I miss nothing about it). So as absurd as it might sound, I have gotten very good results out of being a tourist at home, in several places now.
I also plan the next one, like posters above. I take lots of short trips instead of backpacking for months at a time, which keeps me supplied with steady small travel fixes year-round. I haven’t had to wait more than about five weeks for a trip since last Christmas. Once August rolls around I’ll probably be homebound until October, but that’s what the above strategies are for.

This. The focus on SighSee is strongly on international travel, but remember there are places, sites, events within a few hours drive from where you are now that people come from overseas to experience. Lucky you, you can get there in a day-trip. Travel is about exploring the world, not just the parts that require getting on a plane to visit.
I’m in bed right now. I got the notification to check in for my flight tomorrow morning. I’m thinking about if I was too much of a creep at the club last night. I’m thinking about how I don’t have deep connections with anyone. I don’t want to go back home. I want good friends and not to be a creep.
