You know you’ve been traveling too long when…

When you’ve been on the road longer than you remember, sometimes you forget what the ‘real world’ is like. If the following statements apply to you then you, like me, have gone past the point of no return!

you know you've been traveling too long when...

You think 2 meals a day is standard practice
You start every conversation with “so, where are you from?”
Doing your laundry counts as your productive activity for the day
You get anxious if you’re not sharing a room with at least one stranger
You spend 20 minutes bartering for something you don’t even want, just to save $0.20
Getting a Subway, McDonalds or Burger King is a big treat
You have developed an strange accent and way of speaking for when you talk to people with little English
You can’t remember the last time you did any ironing
You celebrate when you find an internet café with both Skype and working earphones
You start every story with “When I was in..”
Your expectations of cleanliness drop so drastically that you think a room is clean when it only has one of the following: fleas, lice, cockroaches, bugs
You find yourself wearing more than two bracelets
You know how to say “hello”, “thank you” and “one beer please” in more than 3 languages
Changing into a clean pair of underwear is a special treat
You know exactly which section of your lonely planet contains what information
You add people to facebook and find you already have one mutual friend from another point in your travels
You know the different prices and options of international post, FedEx and DHL
You count a night sitting on a bus for 12 hours as ‘one nights accommodation’
You regularly freak out and think you’ve lost your passport
You understand that wild stock and people can, and do, travel in the same mode of transport

I’m sure you guys have a few more to add, i look forward to reading them =)…

Remember, never travel without travel insurance! And never overpay for travel insurance!

I use HeyMondo. You get INSTANT quotes. Super cheap, they actually pay out, AND they cover almost everywhere, where most insurance companies don't (even places like Central African Republic etc!). You can sign-up here. PS You even get 5% off if you use MY LINK! You can even sign up if you're already overseas and traveling, pretty cool.

Also, if you want to start a blog...I CAN HELP YOU!

Do you work remotely? Are you a digital nomad/blogger etc? You need to be insured too.

I use SafetyWing for my digital nomad insurance. It covers me while I live overseas. It's just $10 a week, and it's amazing! No upfront fees, you just pay week by week, and you can sign up just for a week if you want, then switch it off and on whenever. You can read my review here, and you can sign-up here!
