I couldn\u2019t quite define what was going on, but I had an unsettled feeling in my gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I was fundamentally tired<\/strong>; feeling like I hadn\u2019t gotten a truly good night of sleep in months. On reflection, I realized this was true; too many late nights, early mornings, unfamiliar beds, and communal living quarters over a long period of time had taken a toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I was dizzyingly confused<\/strong>; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/happy-holidays-this-was-2010\/\">whirlwind of travel in the last year<\/a> had left me feeling like the world was spinning around me as if I had consumed too many drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And <strong>I was feeling apathetic<\/strong> about so much around me. <em>A beautiful vista, you say? Not to be missed? Meh. I\u2019ve seen lots of beautiful vistas. Here are a few hundred pictures; have a look.<\/em> <em>What\u2019s the point in going out of my way for one more beautiful vista? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/p113273759-2.jpg\" alt=\"Nora Dunn, aka The Professional Hobo, in New Zealand looking at beautiful vistas.\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I was up near Kerikeri at the time, characteristically bouncing from one temporary dwelling to another, fighting to stay caught up with my writing (which felt more like a chore than the delight it normally is), and somewhat unenthusiastically taking in the stunning beauty of the Bay of Islands area in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, it dawned on me: <em>in the last year of travel, I hadn\u2019t spent more than three weeks in one bed <\/em>(and that three week stint was only once; I was lucky to average five nights in one place). Being the big proponent of slow travel that I am, this fevered pace had been fun, but exhausting.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Navigating-the-bus-in-Singapore.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Navigating-the-bus-in-Singapore-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Professional Hobo, Navigating the bus in Singapore; you can't see the travel fatigue, but it's there. \" class=\"wp-image-2425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Navigating-the-bus-in-Singapore-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Navigating-the-bus-in-Singapore.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I recently came across this quote from Winston Churchill. Although he spoke these words 70 years ago, it seems that he was a man ahead of his time; the global climate we live in now is exactly what he describes, a hundred-fold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Nowadays we have reduced the world to a twentieth of the size it was 100 years ago. People can rush about frantically through the air. They certainly do not see the beauties of the world, and it is surely their responsibility to show that they make it better. It is a delusion to think that being able to move rapidly about from place to place makes people happier or wiser. As for the advantages of travel, they may be greatly exaggerated. In order to know anything about a country you must walk through it. You must sleep on its soil, pluck its foliage with your fingers. You must light your fires by its fiords and streams, and watch the dawn break beyond strange mountains.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Winston Churchill<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>November 1939<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In feeling this fundamental travel exhaustion and departure from my preferred style of slow travel, I decided to return to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/living-at-mana-retreat\/\">Mana Retreat<\/a>; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/my-favourite-place-in-the-world\/\">favourite place of mine in the world<\/a> and one that nourishes my body and soul.
