https://thesavvybackpacker.com/how-traveling-abroad-will-ruin-your-life/ - just stumbled on this article. It's exactly how I felt when I returned home from my first long-time travel from spending a year in the States. I was a mess. Since then tho, I have spent many other long periods abroad and loved it every single time, yet when back home have been able to integrate myself to everyday life quite quickly and painlessly. It's all about finding that balance, I have a lot in my home country than I'm happy and grateful about, so I feel content, yet she's also right, once you start, you can't shake the travel bug. At the back of my mind I have so many destinations (and they keep multiplying). It's a good feeling - planning, thinking, reading, knowing that sometime soon I'll go on a trip again. Shorter period or longer, but soon (and as often as possible).
