Very nicely said. I feel the same way about long-distance hiking. I am planning a 5 month thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail starting in April, 2012. I’m blogging about it here: http://russmease@blogspot.com. I have included some thoughts on the office life you mention and I have finally decided it’s not for me. After the PCT, perhaps a tour through Asia for the winter?

7 years and counting and my wanderlust hasn’t left me for a moment. It has been 7 years since I felt ocean sand beneath my feet, 7 years since I visited a night market, and each of those years I have been aware of ticket prices and yearning to strap on my pack and not look back. And in 9 weeks, I am!

Your description is exactly how I feel. Two years ago I travelled to New-Zealand for three months. I hitched, ran and trekked around the country . I could never imagine that this decision would change my person dramaticaly. Originally I looked at it as a once in a lifetime opportunety. A thing you do before you start making money and setlle down. However, soon after my return to Belgium I found myself dreaming of a new travel. One year later I actually embarked on a new trip: 6 months South America. This time I went with my girlfriend. Now I find myself in a very awkward situation. Despite I deeply love my girlfriend (she wants to settle now) and I actually enjoy my current job I feel a constant yearning to leave again. I developped the eyes of a dreamer and in my mind I’m constantly making new plans. I spend more and more time behind my computer, reading stories about various destinations. I’m working now, enjoying what I do, making plans to live together with my girlfriend but at the same time my mind is set to go and leave everything behind. Sometimes I think the actual leaving will become inevitable. The decision will be hard.
