"Drop everything and go travel, see the world" - everyone has heard this advice from loved ones, acquaintances, at least once in their life.
We hear and read about this on the Internet.
And so, it seems really easy – to drop everything and leave. But in reality it doesn’t work out so well. Let’s try to figure out why.
Finance
A topic that has become a pain in the neck for everyone, but has not become any less painful because of it. Where to get money for travel, if even for a simple vacation trip, you have to save, economize, and sometimes even get into debt.
In reality, only a few can afford to buy a ticket to the islands at the drop of a hat.
Job
It's good if you're a freelancer and your location doesn't affect your earnings. But most of us still work in an office, a factory, or an institution.
And if we drop everything and leave, then sooner or later we will return to the painful question "what will we live on next?" After all, no one will wait for six months or a year while we travel.
Yes, no one will wait even a month and another specialist will easily take our place. Work is the stability of our future. To lose it because of a momentary whim is, at the very least, stupid.
Disappointment
Traveling is a kind of risk. And it may turn out that instead of the expected feeling of joy from visiting new places, a feeling of disappointment, anger, irritation may come. Our expectations do not always coincide with reality.
Lack of purpose
Traveling for the sake of traveling is simply throwing money, energy, and nerves down the drain.
Yes, we will get a lot of emotions, we will discover something new, interesting. But with time, a feeling of fatigue and misunderstanding will come: why do I need all this?
Affiliation
It is not for nothing that they say: it is good to visit, but home is better. Wherever you are, you will be haunted by the feeling of "guest mode". More and more often you will be drawn home, to familiar places, to familiar faces.
Lack of friends
It only seems that in new places, you will make new acquaintances. Yes, there will be acquaintances, but they will never reach the level of friendship. And old friends, left in the "past life", will gradually begin to disappear.
Earlier I talked about what prevents you from breaking out of it.
