Short or long travel
Do you like your travel long or short , I personally prefer them to be short, to me short is less than 15 days beyond that I consider it a long travel to me the main difference between long and short travel is the intensity.
I like one week trip with everyday busy doing stuffs and visiting places, I noticed that on a two week trip, I will have many slow days with little to do, those days are nice, they allow the body to rest, however, I don’t want my body to rest.
Longer than two weeks isn’t really good for me unless it is in Spain but usually if I go more than two weeks at a places, I start to work again, I m so used to work.
They are folks they call themselves travellers and they are the people that travel more than 3 months in a row, they call the people that travel less than 3 months ‘tourists’, so I m a tourist based on that standard;)
Due to their long trip travellers tend to spend less money and are very careful about their budget, they like everything cheap, consider this my next week trip will cost me 900 euro in transport , flight and hotel, and it is just one week , a traveller can spend may be one month or two with 900 euro depending the place he or she travels.
I went one month in Republic “democratic” of Congo and it was very unbalanced , the 2 first weeks in Kinshasa had one or two good days and mostly the rest was boring, the third week in the Bukavu area (Grand Lakes region) was extraordinary , the day in the mountain in Goma was fine also, if I had to make this trip again, I will skip Kinshasa completely and stay 2 weeks in the Bukavu area.
Very short travel are sometimes good, I went 2 days in the center of France and it was nice , intense. Now, ok I never travelled longer than a month, I don’t know what it is , again unless it is in Spain I m not sure I would love to travel longer but some day I will try that.
