<\/p>\n
Transition. It\u2019s a loaded word. It\u2019s full of uncomfortable situations, decisions, even stress. For some of us, transitioning may come in the form of giving up the globetrotting lifestyle. This certainly isn\u2019t the case with everyone who reads this, but for a significant number of travelers, this is approaching, undergoing, or has already been.<\/p>\n
The backpack dust buildup could be a side effect of priorities. Perhaps a bit of settling down, creating a home base for yourself and future travels is beginning to sound welcoming. Those mortgage payments are going to cut into the kava fund (if you catch my drift). Children? Personally, I\u2019m a proponent of providing a worldly education to your offspring, but having junior wallow the nights away in a feet-smelling souffl\u00e9 of hostel bunkrooms doesn\u2019t sound quite ideal.<\/p>\n
The thing is, it\u2019s a phase, transition, a situation. Coming down from the travel lifestyle is just that, a coming down. Coming down doesn\u2019t equate crashing, and using your bag of traveler tricks, you can get through this situation with style and grace \u2014 and be the talk of your suburban cul-de-sac.<\/p>\n
