Don’t Your Friends Think Your Crazy?

Trying to stay awake on the metro after a 5 hour walking tour of Paris, my new Ausie friend Brad asked, “Don’t your friends think your crazy?” I laughed, “Yes. They know I’m crazy.” It is nice to be surrounded by people whose friends also think they are crazy- crazy for taking out loans, racking up credit card debt, spending life savings not on car or a house, and for doing it alone. It’s nice to be with people who are interested in your travel stories, but not amazed. People that you can share your travel stories with and not feel like you’re bragging, because travelling is just what you both love to do, and for every story you have they have a similar one.
