The Travelling Limbo: clouds over Vietnam

The Travelling Limbo: clouds over Vietnam

Just back from another trip, and I love how:


  1. my wallet contains a confused mix of coinage
  2. the bottom of my bag houses a unique blend of the world’s sandy beaches [and also receipts from places I can barely read nor pronounce]
  3. my hallway looks like a car boot sale [it's normally immaculate]
  4. I’m at ease living in just a few versatile outfits [and I haven't worn jeans for months]
  5. I don’t quite trust whether my watch’s time is on the correct time zone [or know what 'correct' is]
  6. I have lost track of weekends
  7. I have more postcard-esque first hand photos than most postcard shops
  8. I catch myself saying “thank you” in the incorrect language
  9. I hoard sweeteners for coffee and tissues as I’m still uncertain as to where I’ll be able to buy them next
  10. even plain home cooking tastes exotic [but everything is more fun when eaten with chopsticks!]

Although, I’m not so keen on how:

  1. I’m missing out on that Bank Holiday “just cheated my way out of a day’s work” feeling
  2. I make friends roll their eyes as all my sentences begin with “when I was travelling…” or “when I was in…”

But I wouldn’t swap any of the above for the world! It’s a lovely feeling :)
