Puhkuse blues

Month in my time in OZ and I have settled down in Sydney. Or at least almost. I have decent work here. Pay is good, bosses chill and coworkers nice. There is still things that need to be organized, like finding flat to live which is not too expensive and has reasonable location. Everything has worked out pretty well so far. Had little bit wandering around before ending up here. everything was chill and fun, felt like I had million in motivation scale. Suddenly, couple of days into work, tho everything was nice and I really enjoyed my work came sudden unexpected low point. Felt like I couldn't be bothered with anything. Everything seemed plain and non interesting. Tho I am in new country, new city, new people, new experiences everything seemed stale. 

Vacation blues, however romantic it sounds is another word for travel depression. Wikipedia states post vacation blues occurs when after returning home or to a normal routine from a long vacation, especially if it was a pleasurable one. The longer a trip lasts, the more intense the post vacation blues may be. This is because after the person returns home, they realize how boring and unsatisfactory their normal lifestyle routine is when compared to the activities he or she did while on their holiday/vacation. 

While traveling I have heard stories about it before. It usually happens when people return home and then sudden drop in excitement is followed by depression. Reason why people start craving to head back on road. For first time in more than a year I know that I will be staying in one location for quite a while. Can't say I have returned to home but I am not traveling as well.

Get back in this routine life, but before I have to go trough struggle of finding place to live, build up network of friends and find places to train. Shit I have already done this more than once, and now again starting from zero. I feel like I have lost my travel mojo but I am not ready  to stay put. I kind of remember having same feeling after I finished my travels with my nephew in NZ, but then I was ok staying in place. Now idea of staying in one place is kind of depressing, especially when trying to sort out your life in huge city.

So it seems it is the case of travel depression or some sort of bipolar disorder. All those things you have to deal while traveling.
