17 Signs You Travel A Lot

Published

on



Dave and I have been running a travel blog for a long time now, and we travel a lot. Sometimes, it feels like too much!





The other night, while huddled in a tent on the shores of the Mediterranean, we reflected on how life has changed a lot through our years of travel.

We have actually become more comfortable with the strange things that occur when traveling than we are at home trying to be a part of regular society.





We have come to realize that life is different when you travel a lot. We are a little bit weird, but fortunately for us, we like each other just the way we are. (Yes, I’m referring to Bridgette Jones) Being a couple, that’s a good thing.





Coming up with this list was easier than you would think. We had so many ideas pop into our heads all night long and could have listed 100 signs that you travel a lot.





However, we decided that nobody would want to read a list of 100 signs, so we narrowed it down to just 17. Enjoy!
