Travelling -the return home blues

[MiniN]

I went travelling over the summer with my boyfriend and we had an amazing time.

Now we're back we don't know what to aim for for the future. we've both managed to get some really good jobs but we feel like we've got no direction.

has anyone else been travelling and felt like this afterwards?

most people feel deflated when they return to normality, dont worry once you get used to life back in reality you will relax and you will find your direction.

in the meantime look into all avenues, if your not feeling in the mood for it dont push it, just concentrate on settling back into routines again

I think you're just coming to terms with the reality of realising that you're going to have to work for a living for the rest of your life, and that's a fairly daunting prospect, especially after taking some very relaxing time out.

Unfortunately this is how it always is, especially when eventually you realise it's time to put down roots and get stuck into long term commitments like mortgages., pensions, etc. But if you've both got good jobs hopefully you will be able to afford to take some regular holidays to other interesting places which will give you something to look forward to.
