Wanderlust and a happy life

Travel is in vogue among Russians today! Some people even compete with each other who will visit more countries and cities. They bring thousands of photographs, show them to friends, girlfriends, show off, tell their impressions.

At first glance, travel is a very good hobby that broadens one's horizons, enriches knowledge and brings a lot of positive impressions. That's right, but only if you're not making a passion for travel a passion. You do your favorite work, home and family, and when it comes time to vacation, go on a trip - a couple of times a year.

In this case, travel is a great pastime and relaxation, but some people are so addicted to travel that they overshadow everything else. Traveling turns into a passion, and people quit their jobs, rent out an apartment and live in one Asian country, then in another, thinking that this is the happiest life.

I managed to make a lot of travels, and from my own experience I know that everything, even the most beautiful and bright, eventually ceases to impress and bring pleasure. So it was with me, I was fed up with travel and did not see anything new in them. It took me a lot of effort to return to a fulfilling life, to take up my once favorite work.

I succeeded, but many do not and will not succeed. In any case, you won't be able to travel your whole life. These are rare cases when a person manages to make travel the work of his whole life, like Fedor Konyukhov. There are only a few people like him, and the bulk at a certain age will not find the strength to travel. And then what? When in recent years a person did not think about anything, but only chased after impressions.

As a result, especially keen travelers, their passion will disfigure the rest of their lives, since people will not be able to adapt to ordinary life, where outside the window of the house is the same landscape, where there is nothing exotic and wonderful. Although ordinary life, so gray at first glance. But in reality, even living in a small town without any travel, a person can lead a bright life full of impressions and happiness. Because happiness in the long term does not depend on the landscapes and beauties outside the window of your car, not on external fleeting impressions, but on what is inside us. And if a person does not understand this, no exotic countries, no cultural capitals will make him happy, he will chase the world until his strength leaves, and then emptiness and disappointment will fill his soul and mind. After all, the life to which he was accustomed has passed and will never return.
