Better not :-). @Guffin Mopes as I am right now in Thailand I can tell you I understand your feelings 100%. I do enjoy my staying here and I can see myself living here. Somehow. Somewhere.

It's always a great time, but I get a bad case of "tourist high." I’ve got a terrible habit of deciding I want to move just about everywhere I visit.

I bid you welcome to this part of the world. Thailand is one of my favorite travel destinations. The culture, land and people are amazing - they are always smiling. Best of all the food is yummy!! Do have a great trip! I may not be from Thailand but I come from Singapore, a part of South East Asia. I bid you welcome to this part of the world. Thailand is one of my favorite travel destinations.

Great way to quickly gain perspective without having to resort to a long trip, plus easy to schedule since it's relatively short!

Must do it myself a little bit often too :-) @Nicole Thank you for your comment :-) I was a cyclist too in my teenage years, I used to ride my bicycle all around my native town and it wasn't a small one. I sometimes miss this :-) @Mike King glad you had fun in Jamaica. I only hope I would do the same in my next trip to Thailand which is only days away ;-) @BunnygotBlog love the expression “mad money…” Must do it myself a little bit often too :-)

I just got back from Jamaica for 2 weeks vacation and while that isn't that big of trip, much of what you suggest here I was able to experience first hand. 1. Not making plans and just seeing what works out. We did this by engaging a log with the locals and finding local people to connect with (while we stayed at a resort) and were able to visit there neighborhoods and other workplaces and get inside scoop and taxis to tour us around to lots of great hidden spots that would be missed with planning it through some big tour company ahead of time. We loved that about this trip and will always try to do the same from now on when we travel. It was a blast and a great way to learn a ton of new things and experiences with locals from afar! I thoroughly enjoyed your outline here! Thanks! This is really cool and timely here Dragos.

I love to travel, and have since I was a child. Short trips are an excellent idea, and yes, travelling does work well as a personal development tool. Whenever I used to ride in the car (this was before I traded car for my feet and my bicycle for most traveling) I would ride around looking for new places to visit, or I would flip a coin at each intersection for a while just to see where I would end up. These were my short trips, and always worked to clear my head. Now, I take walks or ride my bicycle around, especially whenever I am in a new place. Liked the article! I know what you mean.
