Very interesting quote. I think it depends on the particular trip though. Sometimes, when it fails to meet your expectations, you are looking forward to going home. But usually, I enjoy my journeys and it feels like i want to stay at those places forever 🙂

I do like to sleep in my own bed and cook in my kitchen, but in my head I am always working out the next trip. I am in my fifties and have done this all my life.

Any pillow can become that old, familiar pillow – and sometimes that pillow is comforting in its own way, but when you’re travelling suck it for all it’s worth.

Good evening! I think that it is not really so.
As one moment you can have your own trip pillow :-) ha-ha
And if seriously in my case I always try to plan my trip so that in all points of it must be interestung plsaces and people. And I try never think about end of my travel. I just know that I have final point where I must be at a specified time to get to final destination. There as usual I try to rest some days and then I fly to home.
But my wife looks forward and likes after every travel visit our parents and relatives, she loves to share with them our stories from trips and give them presents and souvenirs.

hahah it was real from heart, no matter how much you travel how amaxing places you been but the 'feeling which we get at home and the old own pillow is really prize less 😉😉

@czechglobalhosts, Absolutely brilliant travel quote indeed awesome conversation here. After the vacation finish, I hope to go home. Travel experience wanna endless one. But I want to relax time after vacation. I have met nonstop travelers in my life and they told me, traveling is a amazing and interesting thing & they're pretty enjoying. I accept with their idea coz traveling gives us good mentally & physically health.

Great post.Loved the amazing quotation. Really motivating.We visit many places in our life we a enjoy a little bit and we are happy to that time.We can get photography, and most important moments but there is nothing like home.If we go best place of world we always miss it and when we get there the moments and enjoyment comes in our minds and makes us smile.Thanks for sharing it with us.. @czechglobalhosts

Many times we travel and do not want to return. Other times the trip is not as pleasant as we thought and we want to go home. It is also the case of being with the pillow and dreaming about the places we want to visit. Without a doubt, there is nothing better than traveling but after a time of enjoyment we miss our culture from our place of origin.

It's so true, for me part of the experience of traveling is that feeling of getting back home after mapping the world, time for rest, and reflexion about the adventure, and then plan another.

I think traveling without something to go back to is wandering. Wanderlust seems desirable to me only from far.

My travels become so much more enjoyable when I know what awaits me back home. It grounds me and gives me the ability to enjoy me traveling experience. Although sometimes I am struck with a feeling of leaving it all behind and walk away alone but that is more of an impulse than a desire.

At the end of the day that 'old, familiar pillow' is something that we all look forward to :-)

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharial Nehru

Being an introvert sometimes it feels really tough to interact with unknown people, sometimes it also feels that unknown places are not that worthy to visit, just a thought.

This approach changed when i went for a day outside my town during my school days. I took pictures with my teachers and class fellows. After returning home my heart was a bit sad as i was leaving those unknown places. This is the magic of travelling, because it broaden the vision of human mind to absorb the memories of that place.

By the way my familiar pillow gives me the best sleep when i return from any corner of the world,i am sure same goes with you too ;)

Thank you so much Tomas for the wonderful quote man, Peace to you :)

It is very true! "East or West, home is best". Living abroad and travelling, I realize that there is nothing better in the world like my beautiful Belarus. I miss it. What is more, sometimes the impressions I expect to get from some countries don´t get to be true and one more time I prove that motherland is the best place.

I totally agree " There is nothing more comfortable then your own room and own pillow which bring the amazing feeling of being back to home...
great one @czechglobalhosts

That is heart touching ♥
He spends his all life in traveling and in the end his pillow gave him some peace and calmness ♥

The feeling when you after a week you get to sleep in your own bed.

Priceless feeling !!

That is a beautiful quote:)

I still will try to walk until I get to the goal .. and I try to be patient even though I sometimes feel tired

Exactly 100% agreed 😇😇

Well said! Very inspiring! Travelling is the best thing, I'm sure you understand it very well, being a former cruise crew, nothing can be better than that.

The quote doesn't suit me. Home is base, that feeling you get when your head hits the pillow is what drives you.

Nice quote. I feel that through familiarity and comfort come boredom. It's the unfamiliarity and necessary heightening of the senses that make traveling tiring, inspiring, joyful, memorable and stimulating. I love it and always will. Love everyone.
