The article discusses the reality of travel burnout, a phenomenon that can occur when long-term travelers lose their sense of purpose and enthusiasm for their journeys. The author shares his own experience of arriving in Albania with the intention of traveling indefinitely as a travel photographer, but soon encountering an enlightening conversation with a fellow traveler, Luke, who referred to himself as a "digital nomad".
The author observes that Luke's social media posts followed a predictable pattern, with wide-angle shots of himself in beautiful locations, accompanied by captions that simply listed the country name in all caps with a flag emoji. This suggests that Luke may have been going through the motions of travel, rather than truly engaging with the experience.
The article highlights the importance of avoiding this trap of "going through the motions" in long-term travel. It emphasizes that the point of a long-term journey is not to travel indefinitely, but to do so in a way that deepens and diversifies one's life. The author suggests that travelers need to be intentional and self-aware to maintain a meaningful and fulfilling travel experience, rather than simply checking off countries or capturing Instagram-worthy photos.
