There were places that were magical and awe-inspiring, but some days I just wanted to have a fish taco and relax on my couch. There is something, for me, that is comforting about having a home, a place to return to. Knowing that I'm welcome and supported and loved is important. And it's true- about a week after I was home, I started planning our next trip! Welcome back to the U.S.A. I'm sure you'll be dreaming of Italy very soon! I felt the same way after we did our RTW.

I can't wait to catch up on some sleep and see my friends and family that I've dearly missed. It will be fun to catch up on blogging and sifting through photos (I have yet to post a thing about Jordan and I went there back in April!). After recuperating, I'm sure I'll want to hit the road again, but it will be nice to indulge in some Mexican food and use a washing machine!

I love all the wacky and interesting things along the way, but I also LOVE the energy I feel coming home. Not just to be in my own familiar space again with friends and family, but the enthusiasm I feel for the world infuses into my daily ordinary life too. Just like traveling offers perspective on your life, coming home does too. It's important to remember we have an identity going beyond traveler. Absolutely travel is intense and tiring!

I've never saved up enough to keep me on a RTW trip forever and ever. The longest trip I've ever been on was just under a month, however I have traveled to many places :) Great post, I'm sure you will want to travel again very soon. PS I also love that you are treating the Colosseum like the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the picture hahaha :) I always go home after travel because I have to work to make more money to travel again!

I'm not ashamed to admit I miss home and familiarity when I'm traveling for long periods of time. I can't ever really see myself traveling non-stop. Travel, especially traveling on a shoestring, reminds me to appreciate everything I have in my life. It also gives me a new sense of wonder that carries into my daily life at home. Great post!

As I've gotten older I've really tried to stop myself from thinking about my next travels while I'm traveling and focusing on being more present. I haven't mastered it yet, but I'm trying!!! I hope you have a safe flight back home. I'm sure your family is excited to see you!

It's been a great segment. But I hear you on the time-consuming part. I'll be ending some of my weekly features as well in the coming weeks. But thank you for bringing attention to the value of stumbling -- you've brought us a lot of traffic! :-) Sad to hear it! It’s been a great segment. But I hear you on the time-consuming part.

Sometimes you need space to be able to reflect on experiences from travel, in fact I've heard from a few people that they didn't really appreciate their time in India until 6 months after they left.
