This is why once you’ve traveled for the first time all you want to do is leave again.
They call it the travel bug, but really it’s the effort to return to a place where you are surrounded by people who speak the same language as you. Not English or Spanish or Mandarin or Portuguese, but that language where others know what’s like to leave, change, grow, experience, learn then go home again and feel more lost in your hometown than you did in the most foreign place you visited.
This is the hardest part about travelling. And it’s the very reason why we all run away again.
