Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote

Travelling is something that is part of everyone’s life. It can be for work or it can be a pleasure. But then there are some of us who kind of have wheels on our heels. We just don’t mind to pack our bags and head off to explore a new destination. Here are few things that point out that the travel bug has surely got the better of you.

1. You save your leave:

You desperately need a few days off from your work because of your bad health. But nothing in this world can force you to do that just because you planned your next trip next month. There is no way you can compromise and let go your vacation.

2. Your social media account is full with friends from different places:

Travelling is not just about seeing new places. It also involves making new acquaintances. If you have been bitten by the travel bug then you will surely have friends from across the globe in your friends list.

3. Flight prices on your finger tips:

You can so used to travelling that your favourite pass time is to check the flight prices. You might get so good at this that you can even open your own travel agency.

4. Mementos all around:

You have explored so many places that your home is filled with mementos and stuff from across the globe. Right from small artefacts to paintings and much more.

5. You have your next trip planned before this one ends:

Before your current trip ends you already have your next travel plans ready. There will be some of you who may have your next five trip plans ready.

6. Destination birthdays is your concept:

Not just destination wedding you look forward to even destination birthdays. You think of spending your birthday in a different place every year.

So what is the way out?

Well, to be honest there is no way out. There is no antidote which can help you get rid of this passionate venom. But the good thing is that you are not alone. There are many like you who are always willing to check out new places on a regular basis. On the whole this is not a bad thing. After all getting to know the world better is always one of the best things and that is possible only if you travel. This is a truly adventurous passion and you are surely going to meet many likeminded people.

But just one word of caution! Do not overdo anything that will have a detrimental effect on your health. Keep travelling as and when possible, but know your priorities. There will be times when you need to forgo your trip for something more important in your life. Be prepared to make such compromises.

On the whole this is not at all a bad thing and even if it is there is no way out. So the best thing is to enjoy your passion, but learn to set your priorities right.
