Hi! My name is Aly. And I left home 1,374 days ago to go traveling around the world.
And if you've been following my channel then you'll know I've just got back to Europe after almost
4 years of being in different countries, and I'm having a lot of, experiences here
I'm learning that being back in Europe is super weird and reverse culture shock - is a thing!
Here are 10 signs that you have been traveling, a little bit too long...
When you find a bar or restaurant online, and it says "Dress code: semi-formal", it literally sends you into a fit of panic.
Ooooo!! Rooftop! Happy hour: 6 'til 8...; semi-formal...
(panicked laugh)
semi-formal, semi-formal, semi-formal!!
Ooo! Sarong! It's long, it's formal, cool I have that.
I have flip-flops, a sarong and a tank-top which I'm pretty sure I threw up on once.
I think that'll work, y'know I think I should make that work...
Number 2; you haven't seen an oven for so long, you literally have no idea how to use one
*oven beeps* "uahh!" *beeps* beeps* *click* "Ooo!"
Number 3; when you back home and you go to a restaurant with friends and family,
you will be not just disgusted, HORRIFIED at the price of food.
(heavy breathing) (gasp with laughter) Oh my god! Are you kidding me? Have you seen this? Ok that page, that page
12 pounds, for a pathia, j'know, do you KNOW how much I paid in Thailand for a pathia. Guess, guess how much I paid!
Number 4; you will forget what a real towel feels like.
(groans of pleasure)
Number 5; you speak it so much, that basic English becomes your second language.
Aly, j'fancy going out for dinner?
Uhh, taxi, downstairs, five?!
Ok!
Number 6; you've been traveling to so many hot countries, that wearing jeans and trainers, feels
a little bit too claustrophobic for your liking
NO ROOM! AHH! (cries)
Number 7; you've been traveling for so long, that instead of going on a hot date or socialising with people,
you prefer to spend your night just like this;
I'm having such a good night, wooo!, you really know what to say to me!
(whispers) god your'e sexy!)
Number 8; you've lived out of your back-pack for so long
that the idea of putting your clothes ANYWHERE else, terrorfise you, and confuses you
Alright, you can keep anything you want in these drawers
B-But I keep my clothes in here...?
Oh yeah, I know, it's just erm if you wanna unpack, you can put them away, it'll be really nice for ya
But I don't think you understand, m-my clothes live in here
Ok!
They've lived in here for years, I don't know what that is
this is where I keep, I'm sorry!, this is where I keep my clothes...
Ok! That's alright!
Number 9; You'll become, the master of time!!
Hey Aly, you'll know this, isn't it like, the future in Australia
like don't they live, IN the future?
Yeah, Australia's currently 6 hours ahead on the west coast and around 8 hours ahead on the east coast
It's tomorrow in Australia...!
Ah, cool!
And finally, Number 10; once you've returned back to your home country
maybe you're visiting' maybe you're back for good! and you get over the sudden
curiocity with your own home currency, you realise, you can't use your currency as it is, you still got to
convert it to the last currency you were using
How much is that? £4.50? That's about 250 baht you know. It's not bad! Yeah 250 baht!
I really hope you enjoyed that video, those were just 10 things I thought of, of little signs, of things I catch myself doing all the time
and I can only put it down for me traveling for so so long
Leave a comment down below what are some things you catch yourself doing, like maybe when you return home
that can only really be accounted to traveling for way too long
Let me know, I'm looking forward to reading them, and I'll see you in a couple of days, Bye!
