The Paradox Of Travelling

When I was in Australia, I kept thinking about travel.

Now that I'm here in Japan, I keep thinking about returning home.

"That's just being human." — My mother

I was listening to a podcast by Chris Williamson with George Mack discussing that.

Thing is, I haven't booked a ticket to come back. I'm not too sure when I want to return. I'm allowed to stay in the country for six months. So, technically until September 2025.

Part of me wants to fuck off before the Summer in Japan arrives. Which is in June.

My one goal is to minimise the regret I will have. I'm already in the country. What do I want to do while I am here?

Most of my activity is spent walking around, seeing the scenery and going people watching.

Advice From A Traveller

My British friend said to get travelling out of my system as soon as I can.

The wanting for travelling. It's going to become harder once I have a family and commitment.

Just need to take a second to stop thinking about the future, and just be present here in Japan for a sec.

What I will thank for this trip is clarity. Being by myself with my thoughts, I can just dial down on what matters.
