  5. Just walked away from someone who for two years left me "on hold" to solo travel …. It's too much to go into here, but the travel became like an addiction for her, and my heart was utterly destroyed by it…I've tried to cope, but I had to walk away…my mental and emotional health is in shambles. It hurts too much to feel like wanting to be together is too much to ask. Every special day, anniversary, holiday, birthday, a death in the family. ..she was too busy traversing the globe with random people from hostels …to be present when I needed her.

    I'm sorry X, I tried to cope for two years, but I have to go …..I will always pray for your well being and safety. God bless

  6. I had the same realization when I went to Utah. I went there with my friend to see friends in Utah and we went to see the mountains one day. They were gorgeous and I’m from the Midwest so we don’t really have massive mountains like that near me. And as I was looking out, I realized that even though I was looking at a mountain….i was there….looking at the mountain. I hadn’t left myself, just my environment. I realized it’s just me in whatever moment there is. And that’s all there is.

  7. I’m 27 still live at home and feel lost. No girlfriend, and all I do is work. Ive been entertaining the thought of traveling and being a digital nomad in countries like Thailand, Mexico, etc. but haven’t pulled the trigger. I’m from Michigan, and for the last few years, I’ve been snow birding down to Florida. I stay in Fort Myers which is where a few of my other family members also go. Sure we do some fun things here and there, but for the most part, I just sit on the lanai and work. I usually feel that I’m too busy. Everyone tells me I work too much. I do it as an escape from the cold and the toxic environment that I live in back home. I only stayed this long just to save as much money as possible. I’m trying to figure out currently whether I’m going to travel the world and be a digital nomad or if I’m moving to Florida (maybe Tennessee) and settle down. I’ve traveled the US for a couple months on my own and I just felt lonely doing it and kind of empty. Other than some sightseeing, I’d just work and go back to my hotel. I have really bad anxiety and the idea of going overseas on my own is terrifying, but I feel like I should do it for that exact reason. Like you said, I feel like back home I have to uphold a certain image of how everybody sees me. I also have resentment for where I was born, although I acknowledge, it will always be home and this is where I always will feel the most secure and comfortable. I could honestly just keep rambling on and on. I wasn’t gonna even comment, but I’ve read about 100 of these comments and I must say I’ve never seen a more open and interactive YouTube comment section. I’d think I was browsing a reddit post! This was definitely a powerful video.

  10. I've had the typical positive adventure experiences in my travels (born in Sweden, lived in Norway, France and Canada with a quick pop over to Hawaii haha). But now I'm struggling with not being able to have a remote career and being forced into place geographically.

  15. I have a successful business, traveled my local area to an extend of ridiculousness… its not enough! Geographer in my heart such as I am, ready to abandon all. Any thought of where to start? Was thinking Ireland and then France…Germany, thoughts? Going with a back pack and nothing more. Whereever yoy go there ya are. Understood.

  20. Why not go to a different city in the same province where no one knows you? It'll feel so similar and so different and you'll be close to your childhood stuff?

  21. this speaks to me a lot, I feel exactly the same like you, i'm in thailand right now I'm 20, i don't feel as good as i thought i would here your story spoke to me a lot

  22. I am curious where this modern "cult of traveling" came from. I do enjoy a change of scenery and experiencing different places. At the same time, I find it overrated. Not because it's not fun or worth doing, but because it doesn't live up to the quasi-religious hype. And then there is what feels like enormous pressure to travel all over and see as many different places as you can. I feel like I have to visit lots of different places before I can "settle down" and just focus on returning to places I actually really want to go. Otherwise, it's like I'm missing out. This is different from what causef you to travel, but regardless I think overall people really need to rethink our approach to travel.

  23. I enjoyed this video. I'm 62, live in Small Town, Alabama, and am too broke and physically limited to really enjoy any traveling anymore. First, I have absolutely no desire to travel to foreign countries, but I'm always thinking about a 10-14 day road trip. But, honestly, I can't really even afford to do that now without it meaning a major hit to my meager finances. And so, I feel bored to death much of the time in my cheap, upstairs, single-dude apartment. I live in a very small university town, and so most of what goes on here is built around the college-age population, which don't appeal to me at all. I want to get to the contented state of mind you're at now, and to do it where I am, and to stop desiring to do that which I can't do. And past experience is informative too, as in the past when I did make any kind of short trip, I didn't find myself being any more content or happy than I was before I left the house.

  26. I highly suggest people like you to understand about life, for that i suggest to watch jkrishnamurti and sandeep maheshwari spirituality with science not belief, to understandand about life.

  27. I disagree. In my opinion, I think it depends on the person but it may motivate some to move to a new place and learn everything there is to know about the new location. A lot of maturing to do there.
