Hit 30 countries in 18 months and it kinda messed me up

I thought traveling that fast would be amazing but I ended up feeling burnt out and lonely by month 14. Met a guy in a hostel in Chiang Mai who said he spends 6 weeks minimum in each place now, and I'm starting to see his point. Has anyone else felt worse after hitting a big travel milestone?

Oh wow, I totally get what you mean. I did a similar thing once and honestly it was more exhausting than fun. And hey @tyler_fox41, you're right about slowing down - I switched to spending at least a month in each spot and the whole experience changed for the better. You get to really know a place instead of just checking it off a list.

Yeah, I slowed way down after six months and it made traveling feel way better for me.
