Once you get a taste for traveling it gets harder and harder to put away your suitcase and return to regular life. It is much more alluring to turn your back on the rat race and make globetrotting into a full-time job instead!
Here are a few signs that you're becoming a professional traveler:
- Sometimes you wake up with no idea which country you're in
- It takes ages to pay for anything with small change because you have so many different types of currency in your wallet
- When you fill out a form you're not sure what to put under the "address" section
- All of your possessions fit into one bag
- You know how to say "thank you", "excuse me" and "help, I'm lost" in at least five different languages
- You've filled up your passport. Twice.

Teeheehee good list. The small change thing rings far too true! And you can't bear to get rid of the coins in case you go back but when..
The money part is so true! I have to have both pounds and dollars in my purse at all times because I live in England but belong to a US military base. Add the Euro change, and various Eastern monies, and it's impossible to keep track of it all. Not to mention, the stuff weighs a ton! Why dies the rest of the world refuse to print one and two unit bills?...On the bright side, I can quite easily take out a mugger with a swing of my purse.
Ha ha!
haha Kitty, atleast in other countries, when you have a fist full of cash you know it's actually worth something! Instead of having $11 worth of one dollar bills and feeling really rich.
