1. You start all your stories with “When I was abroad…”
2. And it drives people crazy
3. You will talk to people in a language they don’t speak
Yes really. You will.
4. You realize you don’t even speak your native language anymore
5. You realize you picked up a few strange habits
Like eating at unusual hours
6. You start remembering all the little things from your time abroad – even the bad times
7. You miss the feeling of discovering new things
8. You miss all of new contacts you made abroad
9. .. and you realize that because they live all over the world, you might never get to see them all together in one place again
10. You keep checking flight tickets to see how much it costs to get away again
11. Thinking “if I leave tomorrow at 3 in the morning I could fly there for only 300$, and be back before Monday”
12. At the same time realizing it won’t be the same
12. You drop everything you are doing when you hear someone mentioning the places you have been to
13. And you just have to join the conversation and say ‘Hello’
14. You just don´t fit in anymore in your home country
15. Missing the food like crazy
16. Sometimes you pretend to travel by opening Google Street View
17. You realize it was way harder to come back than it was to go
18. And even though you spent way too much money, you would do it again in a heartbeat
