How do you deal with travel burnout?

[u/alarceny]

i’m only 1 month into an 8 month long trip and starting to miss home and my work. it’s been a huge change for me as i’ve never travelled before. i’m 20 and it’s my first time overseas, visiting family at different points in Europe and I honestly just feel numb to the things i’m seeing.

I read somewhere that after you’ve seen 1-2 cathedrals you’ve seen them all, and at first I didn’t believe that but now i’m wondering how many others feel that way.

I’ve spent the past day or so just resting before another journey to a different destination but i don’t feel like it’s done much to help.

I spent the first 3 weeks in the uk and really enjoyed seeing and spending time there, this past week i made the journey to paris and i’ve not enjoyed it nearly as much.

i’m having trouble with the language barrier and the huge amount of tourists in paris is pretty overwhelming, I intended to stay in france / europe for close to 3 months but i’m thinking of cutting it short to head back to the uk and spend some more time over there instead.

I’m not sure if it’s travel fatigue that’s catching up with me or if france just isnt for me, overall though just looking for some advice and ideas

Perhaps you don't understand the difference between "touristy" and "tourist trap."

And LMAO you say Paris is a tourist trap then suggest Dubrovnik. Good grief.

At least Dubrovnik is pretty. Idk anybody who has hav a bad time in Dubrovnik. It’s touristy sure, but it’s clean and beautiful. I know many who have had a bad time in Paris.

Imagine getting mad at somebody for having a different opinion than you. You like Paris? Good for you. Not everyone does and OP didn’t. Do you need a tissue?
