Great article.
I reckon the last point is particularly relevant when dealing with the inevitable negativity when returning from a big trip. After my travels around Mexico, returning to a 9-5 I felt as if the walls were closing in. It was easy to polarize the experiences when you're back - there good, here bad - but it took me a while to see that despite the unparalelled freedom of being on the road, time at home can be spent with friends and family. Don't let it just be a waiting room for your next trip. You're ripping yourself off.
