Are you planning a backpacking trip and wondering what coming home is going to be like? Or, have you returned from a trip and suffered from post-travel depression? We’ve been there too.
On this episode of the podcast, we discuss what it was like for us to come back home after our 2 big backpacking trips, as well as what it was like returning from our 1 month solo trips. We share how we felt coming home the first time with the expectation that we find a place to live and get “big kid” jobs. We share how it was strange to come home to life being the exact same as we left it. We also contrast that from returning from our second backpacking trip and dramatically changing our lives. Finally, we share what it was like to leave for only a month and return once again.
Have you experienced post-travel depression and struggled with returning home? We’d love to hear from you. Send us an email at info@theworldwanderers.com.
