When Travel Becomes Boring | How to Keep a Positive Perspective

Have you ever been on a long backpacking trip and you get kind of bored with what you’re doing? You become sick of seeing another church or meeting another Australian?

We’ve been there. Guests on the show have been there. If you’re experiencing this (or have experienced this), there isn’t anything wrong with you.

When you set out on a trip, everything is awesome, and each new experience you have and each new person you meet is fascinating and exciting. As time goes on, the things you are seeing and the people you meet becomes much less satisfying.

On this episode, we share our thoughts and ideas on how to deal with normalizing travel life, and how to shift your perspective to maintain curiosity and wonderment throughout your travels.
