Been traveling for about a month now. Started in Thailand, then Laos, and currently in my third city in Vietnam.
At the beginning I felt super energized. Waking up early, excited to explore, making big lists of things to see and do.
Now it feels different. Still enjoying the trip, but the energy has definitely slowed down. Some days I wake up around 10 and just sit in bed scrolling on my phone for a few hours even though there are things I could go do.
I don’t want to go home at all. It just feels like I’ve shifted from “tourist mode” to more of a relaxed vibe where I’m just living day to day instead of trying to do everything.
Curious if other long-term travelers have experienced this too.
