My mixed feelings about travel

I enjoy traveling. I enjoy the change in scenery and disconnecting from my daily routine. BUT, I also long for the familiarity, comfort, and possessions available to me when I’m home. I sometimes would love to have a portal where I can switch between my life traveling and being back home.

The more I travel, the more I want to travel, but being back home still feels special. No matter how comfortable a hotel bed is, there is a different kind of comfort being back home in my own bed.

I have a suspicion that I should extend my trip to support my son for a longer period, but I’m eager to be back home because there are some tasks I want to complete that I don’t feel comfortable doing here.

How do you feel when you travel? And when does the desire to return home start to kick in?

I find travelling exhausting. The build up, the preparation, the flights and navigating new places just drains me.
I need a holiday to get over my holiday, but then the cycle repeats itself
