You\u2019re constantly meeting new people, visiting new places, navigating foreign streets, and discovering new things about yourself in the process. This act of (literally) broadening your horizons produces a gentle constant adrenaline rush; one that can often give you the energy you need to keep going despite a few too many sleepless nights and the initial onset of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/travel-fatigue-and-slowing-down-the-pace-of-travel\/\">travel fatigue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/p23354607-2.jpg\" alt=\"travel is exciting\"\/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/><strong>But, what about roots? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Full-time and long-term travel generally negates the ability to have roots. In packing up and traveling for an extended period of time, you cut ties to the place and community that is \u201chome\u201d; a place and community that can be grounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2013 to cut roots and spread your wings is a beautiful thing to do, and something that can be very revealing. But <strong>if you\u2019ve cut your roots on a semi-permanent basis to travel full-time, motion sickness can set in after a while. <\/strong><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Motion Sickness (<em>pron: mo-shon sik-ness<\/em>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u2026The state of being dizzy or nauseated because of the motions that occur while traveling in or on a moving vehicle\u2026<\/em><\/p><p><em>\u2026Motion sickness, also known as Travel Sickness, is a condition in which a disagreement exists between visually perceived movement and the vestibular system&#8217;s sense of movement\u2026<\/em><\/p><p><em>\u2026generalized discomfort experienced when an individual is in motion\u2026<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Although these definitions refer to the literal act of being in a moving vehicle like a car or boat and feeling sick, <strong>here are a few parallels between the literal definitions of motion sickness and \u201cmotion sickness on the road\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motion Sickness comes from being on the move, without a constant thing to focus on. One of the remedies for motion sickness in a car, for example, is to look out at the horizon. Seeing \u2013 and feeling \u2013 the grounding consistency of the horizon can help your body to understand its place in space and time, as opposed to focusing on your immediate surroundings (such as the seat in front of you, which isn\u2019t moving, but actually is) and to have the blur of the world moving past you in your peripheral vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the world of full-time travel, there often isn\u2019t a figurative horizon to focus on. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although full-time travelers will spout rhetoric like \u201cthe world is my home\u201d and \u201ceverybody is my family\u201d \u2013 <em>and I\u2019ve said such things myself <\/em>\u2013 I\u2019m starting to question the long-term sustainability of this ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/p841657955-2.jpg\" alt=\"being in motion\"\/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/><strong>Are you here for two years, or two weeks?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you spend two years somewhere, you \u2013 and everybody around you \u2013 will act very differently than if you\u2019re only staying for two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course in both cases, you can develop in-depth relationships with people. But in two weeks, you will only get to know somebody in a limited fashion, and it\u2019s a different form of relationship. The person you meet isn\u2019t going to invest in the friendship the way a highschool friend might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Knowing that you are moving on creates invisible walls between you and these fast friends you make. <\/strong>And although you may plan to stay in touch and reconvene somewhere else in the world, the relationship remains somewhat superficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you plan to spend two years in one place, you can develop much deeper connections with the people, the land, and the society you are living in. You share a myriad of experiences with the community in which you live, and that connection provides the fundamental roots that can be considered \u201chome\u201d \u2013 if even only for a limited time.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cHome\u201d: That Dirty Word Again<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m constantly fielding questions like <em>\u201cWhere\u2019s home for you?\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cWhen do you think you\u2019ll go home again?\u201d<\/em> with light-hearted responses about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/the-ultimate-packing-list-for-full-time-travel\/\">\u201chome\u201d being the contents of my bag<\/a> and the pillow I lay my head on each night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional society dictates that \u201chome\u201d is a physical construct with walls, a roof, security against the elements, and filled with items that provide comfort. Although I don\u2019t believe that home needs to be such a tangible physical thing, I also find myself doubting the loose definition of home I\u2019ve been standing by for the last while.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Having a Constant \u201cHorizon\u201d on the Road<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Despite the remedy for motion sickness being a constant horizon to focus on, I believe that you can still travel full-time without getting motion sickness. <\/strong>You can do this either by maintaining a slow pace of travel, or by having a &#8220;horizon&#8221; to move along with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I filmed the pilot episode for a travel television show last September, I was with a cast\/crew of about 10 people on a whirlwind trip through France and Nepal over the course of a month. We were on the move constantly, sharing close quarters with one another with very little privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And after almost eight months of solo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/travel-fatigue-and-slowing-down-the-pace-of-travel\/\">travel at a fevered pace<\/a> with a constant flow of new friends coming in and out of my life, I\u2019d have thought that this television experience would have put me over the top, knocking the wind completely out of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, I found the exact opposite; <strong>I was energized by traveling and living with this crew in the tight community that we formed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/p162171491-2.jpg\" alt=\"travel with people\"\/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/><strong>Travel Partners being your Horizon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first three years of my travels, my grounding effect \u2013 my horizon to focus on to prevent motion sickness \u2013 was Kelly, my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/breaking-up-while-traveling\/\">former boyfriend<\/a>. He was somebody with whom I could share my travels; <strong>somebody who provided context and understood my history and personality as we both had fresh new travel experiences <\/strong>and incorporated them into the travel tapestries we each were weaving.
