I went backpacking for 3 months a while back, in the developing world and while the freedom is exhilirating, it does get boring and lonely from time to time.
It’s easy to make friends while traveling, but they are very surface level friendships and when you inevitably split up and go your separate ways, it’s sort of heartbreaking because you’re alone and have to start over again.
Not to mention that you’re essentially homeless, which has its own nagging feeling of insecurity.
Long term travel definitely worth doing, but I’m not sure I would want to do it again.

Yeah, I'm the same. I'm glad I did the backpacking thing but it starts to do my head in after a while. I need my own "home base". Maybe with a big enough RV it'd be OK.
