Travel Addicts
'Gap years are not just for young people. But before you give up your job, remember that
coming home is the hardest part', says travel addict Ben Williams.
My name is Ben. I am 32 years old and I am a travel addict. I've been back home now for
almost six months, but I know that I will always be an addict. If I see just one travel
brochure I know I will want to go away again.
Two years ago, I was on an island in Fiji, at the start of a year-long break that took me and
my girlfriend, Jane, to 14 countries. We watched fireworks over the Sydney Opera House
at New Year, saw the sun rise over the temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and spent my
31st birthday on a Thai beach.
It was without doubt the best year of our lives. No work, no boss, no worries. No grey
skies of Britain, just carefree months going into the distance. True, there wasn't much
money, but it didn't matter.
We loved having the freedom to go where we wanted, when we wanted. If we liked a

place, we stayed. If not, we just got the next bus out. We only had one worry in the world.
We knew we had to return to Britain
'We loved having the freedom but coming back was awful.'
Coming back was awful. We had huge debts, and we had to find work. The routine of
getting up, going to work, going home, eating, sleeping, and getting up again is just about
killing me. I'm finding it difficult to do what other people tell me to do.
Before I went travelling, I worried about earning more money, buying a bigger car, a
house, etc. Now that I'm back, I don't care about those things any more. I'm living like a
student again and saving all my money. As soon as I have enough, I'll be off on my next
trip around the world
Sandie and Ian's story ...
While I was travelling, I met other people like me. Sandie,28 and Ian,33, got married and
4 de 8 8/07/2018, 12:42 p. m.
spent a year travelling on their honeymoon. We met on a beach in Thailand. They were
both IT consultants with stressful jobs. Now that they are home, they are making big
changes to their lives. 'Work just isn't so important anymore', says Sandie. 'But I suppose
we'll have to stay in these jobs until we find a way to escape'
Rebecca's story ...
I met Rebecca, 26, in Australia during her round-the-world trip. Now she's back home and
she's also having trouble readjusting to life. 'It's terrible', she says. 'During the first couple
of weeks back at work, I couldn't sit at my computer. Nobody understands. My parents
and friends just aren't interested in my experiences. I don't know why. It was such an
important time in my life. I keep looking at my photos, so that I won't forget'.
For me too, I wonder if life back home will ever feel normal again. Next week I'm starting
an evening course to learn Spanish. And when I've finished that, I'll start Portuguese.
They'll be very useful languages in South America!
