Fairly recently I made a promise to myself: I am not going to travel for the rest of the year.
Travel is something I absolutely love. I’ve said time and time again that it’s all I really want to spend my money on and for the past year that’s what I’ve done.
So what‘s changed?
2014 has been a good year for travel for me
To be honest: not much. I still love travelling as much as I ever have, but I’ve reached a point that so many bloggers I follow have written about – I just need a bit of a break.
Over summer, I travelled a lot. All in all, I did five trips in four months. And not all small city breaks either – I did my first road trip, my first press trip and a two-week backpacking sprint through the Balkans.
Thanks to all this travelling, I can look back at 2014 already and know that it has probably been my best year for travel – ever.
The only downside is, I have a lot of catching up to do. Having been to so many amazing places, I have a lot I want to share – but there are still things I want to write about from my trip in January, not to mention all those since.
So, the time has come to stay put for a while – and surprisingly, I feel really good about it. I’m still planning away for 2015, and I’m hoping to visit a few Christmas markets here in Germany, but for now, not travelling feels like a welcome change.
What do you think? Have you reached a similar point?

P.s. Since making this promise to myself, I flew to London twice in the space of five days – but that was for work, so it totally doesn’t count…
