I am stuck, I have two weeks annual leave and nowhere that I want to go to, its not due to lack of funds, but more to do with lack of interest, so what am I talking about? A couple of years ago I went travelling for about 8 months, and now that I am back I have no inclination to go visit anywhere else, just cant figure why, the world is full of wonders, there is so much of the Earth I have not seen, but my desire to get up and see them is gone. Part of me thinks it has to do with tv, on sky there are so many programmes and channels dedicated to travel that are repeated over and over that you often feel 'been there, done that' even though the longest trip you have taken is to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, now I know tv is no substitute for real life, but is it also taking away any mystery that is left in the world?

Travelling did have plenty of ups and downs, and I will probably go on about the perils of meeting fellow backbackers that you really can't stand to be around another time, but lets just say the world is so small now, or maybe I just don't get excited about it anymore, I really hope I do catch the travel bug again, its got to be better than fixing the creaky back gate or cleaning the shed.......oh my god I have settled down!!
