Happend to us a lot, just back where we started from, I stoped to talk about it... Actually nobody wants to hear about it. I was warned b4 from some fellow travellers, they told me in Sydney "When you come home do not even try to talk about the trip, nobody will get it, they just do not understand it"...
Never mind, thats our memories and learnings for the next part of the trip...
Cheers

I have worked, with short breaks in between, abroad with for the last 14 years. Normally deployed with the army in places like Afghanistan or Africa.
The same happens to me. People don't wanna talk about it because normally they don't have an opinion about the places you worked. Or they have an opinion but they know that you will be the wrong person to talk about it since you have been there and then their opinion could sound ridiculous...
That's why there are so many traveler meetings out there. You wanna talk about your trip and experience, there you'll find the people who share the same feelings and understanding since they have done a trip themselves or they are planning to do one.

Very true indeed but there is got to be something else, possibly, as someone else hinted, the hesitation to discuss unfamiliar things. But still...
Cheers

It happens before your trip. Nobody wants to know about your preperations and plans. A lot of people say, why do you want to travel? Whats wrong with "insert place you live" When you try to explain the reason you are going, their eyes glaze over. They just cannot understand.
It used to be the case in the UK, that the majority of people lived within 7 miles of were they were born / lived as a child.
How sad.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
