I mean, facing hardships from the comfort of home isn&#8217;t easy, but on the road the challenges are even greater. What happens when the travel life deals you a sucker punch? When loneliness strikes? When you are really sick or injured? When your passport is stolen? When you have an epic breakup? When you just wanna go home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yup. I&#8217;ve had all of this happen, and more. In fact, I have a page on my site that details my experience of these hardships while traveling, if you&#8217;re feeling strong: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/brace-yourself-travel-isnt-all-roses-and-lollipops\/\"><i>Brace Yourself: Travel Isn&#8217;t All Roses and Lollipops<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this month&#8217;s vlog, at the request of a loyal reader and friend, I&#8217;m delving into the crappy stuff that can happen on the road, and how to deal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tackle issues like the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One of the first things you&#8217;ll learn if you&#8217;re traveling to \u201crun away\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The three big things I do when loneliness strikes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is home on the road? What do you do when you just want to go home?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/welcome-professional-hobo\/\">The Professional Hobo<\/a> Vlog, Ep. 4: Facing Hardships While Traveling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Facing Hardship While Traveling (VLOG Ep. 4)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZOK9SeqyaRo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>Click here if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZOK9SeqyaRo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch this on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This being my fourth vlog (<i>vlog<\/i>: a term I&#8217;m still reluctantly getting used to; I&#8217;m more inclined to use&nbsp;the term \u201cvideo podcast\u201d, but I&#8217;m told that&#8217;s not really a thing), I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;m getting better at these things, but I can&#8217;t actually tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean, I&#8217;ve definitely taken my vlog to new levels with the addition of a few new accoutrements, including a microphone (<i>holy cow, what a difference<\/i>), a selfie-stick with a tripod attachment (<em>I can now set up anywhere!)<\/em>, and even a new camera (<i>the kind of camera that makes phone calls, that is<\/i>). I also thought I was getting smart by filming this episode outdoors (<i>great lighting, no?<\/i>), but the sun came and went throughout, which made the editing process pretty inconsistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d also like to apologize in advance for my errant use of air quotes in this episode. I&#8217;m not sure why I felt the need to emphasize so much with them. I&#8217;ve made a mental note to keep air quoting to a minimum in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sigh. Live and learn.
