My economics teacher used to say that the only thing that you cannot get enough of is money. I cannot test this yet as my bank balances are negative.

What I can say, though, is that you can get oversaturated by traveling. Before judging, hear me out.

Before and after the travels

I have so many friends who say that they could travel all their lives without any problems. Before starting my journey I thought the same:

One year will not be enough and I will simply continue traveling until I see every freaking thing.

This thought had 2 flaws:

1. You simply cannot see everything. Thinking otherwise only corrupts the mind and forces you into thinking about things you didn't do instead of focusing on the ones you did.

2. People actually get tired of traveling all the time.

So yeah, I am currently on the road for 362 days and I am feeling exhausted. I got oversaturated with all the beautiful nature, modern cities, and living without a permanent place.

I no longer feel the need to see the first wonder of the world. I also don't feel the need to meet a wise man in the jungle. I am not enjoying long bus rides to reach new exciting places. I also feel that all the new places have nothing new to offer.

My words might sound really ignorant. Especially if you haven't tried traveling for a long time. Before I couldn't understand people wanting to go home, but now I only think of home.

Before I thought to end my travels will make me cry of sadness, but I will probably cry of joy.

It does not mean that I am feeling bad or I hate traveling. It's just that I am tired. Everything has to have an end.

What I need now is some rest.

You miss the point of traveling when on the road forever

And in my eyes, traveling should be something exciting. It should fill your soul with happiness and joy. It should teach valuable things and make you a better person. However, what happens when all the capacity of the soul is already filled with travels?

We just start missing the point. I think that my body cannot take it anymore. I am oversaturated. Apparently, if you eat too much of something healthy, you can get sick as well.

So, for me, at this stage of my life, one year is enough of traveling. I took as much as I could ever handle.

So everything that comes into my full body now just crashes and disappears. So what shall I do?

It is time to digest

Well, I think I ate enough of traveler's food, so it is time to relax and digest it all. It is time for me to go back home and think everything through.

I need to empty my body and soul before getting back to other places.

Traveling is a food for your soul. You shall occasionally feed your soul, but never ever oversaturate. Some people might travel for 3 months, some for a year, and some for 10 years, but we all have our limits. We all need time to digest what we learn.

Have a great life!
