No matter how long you travel or how far away from home you
travel, there will always be a point when you get homesick. Yes, I have
constantly missed the obvious things such as my boyfriend, friends, pets, and family,
but there are heavier waves of homesickness that come and go. I miss all kinds
of foods such as Mexican food. We’ve had one burrito since we’ve been here and
somehow there were hints of coconut and peanuts in the flavor. I miss the
simple things like always having toilet paper or more so, flushing the toilet
paper down the toilet. I miss not showering in sandals. I miss drinking tap
water and refilling your water bottle. I miss being treated like the average
person instead of being cheated whenever possible and haggling for everything.
I miss cooking my own food.
There are sacrifices you have to make to travel, and traveling
is not convenient or comfortable. But hey, I’d do the one-two-shake instead of
having toilet paper any day to have the opportunity to travel. I’m learning
life lessons that I’ll bring back into my normal life. And when I find those
life lessons, I’ll let you know ; )
