I wanted to write about this topic for a long time however, busy moments did not let me to do it. Time arrived finally!
Everything I write here, or almost, has an explanation and a purpose behind. This is not an exception. I would like to express my point of view about the differences of travelling and living, which seems to be obvious but not everybody think like that.
Many of my friends are telling continuously I do not stop travelling! and this comment ended to be funny for me. I live in many places, I am nomad at the moment and for almost 3 years now. When you follow a routine, you do the common things like putting washing machines, the shopping of the week/weekend, going to the library or other non-touristic spots and so on... I consider you are living in a place! Whether this place is abroad, it does not matter, still you live there not travel! When I travel, and I guess most of the people, you do not care about homeworks because basically "you do not have home" during that time. You buy things to eat that day or for a couple of days but as "weekly shoppings", you do not go to the library. Here an explanation from my side, I go, because I love libraries and in a way I guess I do kind of uncommon tourism sometimes... like I visit toilets and I pay attention to them, I observe the shelves in the supermarket and how the things are organized... freak things maybe :P But, in general, you do not do that when you are travelling and 85% of the people (just to say a high percentage) will go to the touristic spots and that´s all!
It is true I move every 2-5 months in average but this is not travelling, this is living in different places.
And now let´s have a closer look at this difference: living permanently in a place or move around.
Well, it is not that fun always to move that much. It is kind of annoy to think you cannot buy this or that because you will need to carry it in your suitcase and then the airline will charge if you exceed certain weight. At the same, you cannot have everything you would like. Sometimes you miss some of your things like a book, like some memories, but you cannot bring them with you...
In the social aspect is quite tiring to change people and group of friends that often. You got used to go out with some people and do certain activities and when everything is at the highest level: Closer friendship, adapted to the patterns... you have to move again! And it is a pity!
Finally, and not least, your body and health. Food habits, temperature, environment (like air conditioning now)... all this change as well and the body is not as fast as the mind. After living in some places you can get the new life pattern quite fast, even the timetable and other features similar, but the body... you never know how it can react.
Up to here the topic I wanted to talk about today. It is a little bit late and my brain needs to be refreshed for another hard and long day of work tomorrow :)
