I totally agree with you about the 5 stages. Excitement is the best part. By the way, my wife and I booked a similar 16-segment trip covering Europe, Africa and the South Pacific (United Hopper) in Sept/Oct, so we will be looking forward to your reports and insights.
Ricky, do you think "wanderlust" is an "illness" or not? Why or why not?
I wouldn’t call it an illness. More of a natural part of the human experience that manifests more in certain people than others. If it were an illness, though, it’d certainly be quite a nice one to have!
Hey Ricky,
Totally relate to the compulsion phase so it’s not just you. But I also go through another stage after the fulfillment one and I can only describe it as sadness that it’s over!
Well, the easy solution to that – always have another trip planned! 🙂
