travel fatigue - how to avoid travel-weary at longterm journeys

[4x4tripping]

Most of us are not satisfied with just working, we take care of our relationship, we meet family and friends, do hobbies and participate in clubs, go dancing on the weekend, to the theater, cinema, fine dining, and do sports.

If you think that a long-term trip automatically brings a good balance, and analyze the whole thing a bit, you will quickly realize that there are also some things to consider when traveling.

Our mind requires a certain amount of stimulation in order to feel fulfilled. This is where the work-life balance analyses that have been explored more deeply with the increasing burnout/boreout syndromes in our modern society help us.

Of course, these are not issues that come up when traveling for 2-3 months. But that can happen quickly on longer trips.

I hope my english is understandable, because it is not my national language. And hope it helps some traveler out there.

Hard to say in which category this topics fits at best, probably an moderator has a better idea of the placement than "Overland trip Reports". But this topic is worth to discuss between other longterm travellers.

Just like any lifestyle, one needs to take a vacation or time off from day-to-day life. This is the same for long term "travel" - travel being a lifestyle.

Travel with complete preparation usually makes the trip less weary.
