    When you get home from a long time travelling. The first week or two are okay, but after that you are left with the realisation that you just want to leave again. Anyone else get this?

    Well I'm back to work on Feb 27th. Until then I'll be doing a bit of reading, yoga and lots of internet research! :D I did plan to work until the end of September but I reckon I'll only make it until the end of May and maybe go work somewhere else in Europe until the end of September or do some wwoof'in around Europe. I don't know tbh. My heads wrecked. Spent over 9 months on the road and thought it'd be nice to go home, but now I want to leave straight away again, but have no money. Damn money, always causing problems! :( Still I just have to play the waiting game!

    You should man, save up some money and just leave. I spent ages talking about it. The I just said fuck it, and off I went into the sunset, not to return for over 9 months. :D

    Like I said earlier, damn money always causing problems! Hope you enjoy yourself though. This is where it all starts. After this you'll probably catch the bug! :)

    Try travelling eastern and western Europe for a month and a half then having to return to conservative midwest America.....let me out already, I've been back stateside for 3 months and I really want to escape again. Or at least go on a righteous road trip through the American rockies and up into Canada. I'm back in school to finish my undergrad but I hate being stuck in the same town with the same routine...... I feel your pain, trust me.

    yeah, got back from a 6 month trip around india, nepal, lao and cambodia a few weeks ago...
    I'm really starting to miss all of it now...The people, the food, the weather, the mountains, the beaches, retreats *sigh*
    And i haven't even begun to look for a job yet which i need so I can do this TEFL in Saigon!

    Actually my latest idea is to apply for uni, not turn up for a single lecture and use the student loan to get a one way to Bangkok via Kathmandu....
    But thats very naughty....

    Anything to keep you on the road is good! The uni/student loan scam could be cool! :)

    haha yeah it would be. I don't think it's morally wrong either since the £1,300 would probably just be spent on ammunition in Iraq...So infact I think i'd be doing society a favour(haha). My scam could well save the lives of innocent Iraqis (ok now i'm pushing it!).
