he traveller puts so much time, effort and research into going away, every aspect, visa’s,
inoculations, currency, carnet’s, budget and border regulations are diligently researched and
rigorously prepared for. But no thought is given to the return, it’s no wonder so many people
jump every hurdle on the road and fall at the finish line. The misconception and blasé attitude to
homecoming results in stumbling resentfully into the rut that was so hard to leave. I’ve learnt
now that nothing changed while I was away and nothing will now I’m back, unless I put as much
effort into it as I did into leaving in the first place.
