I found an old high school essay, where I said loving travelling. I also find another column from my university time, where I said loving travelling. Then I found old writing from my Facebook site, where I said NOW I am going to travel so much more. After few years I commented my on post by saying:  oh, I did not changed at all. I am not still travelling enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog post I am shortly trying to figure out my traveler identity: why I love travelling but at the same time feeling I am not abable to do it enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A traveler\u00b4s mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My father has a traveler mind. Also his father had a traveler mind. I think I am my father\u00b4s daughter and I have this same traveler mind. When I was young, we lived in the middle of recession. Despite that my father organized a lot of nice travel memories for our family. I remember how we made a lot of trips with caravan for example and couple of great trip abroad. At 6th grade we made a class trip to Rhodes. My father were also there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that I\u00b4ve travelled every few years, and almost always been the one who plans these trips or just the on who says &#8220;yes!&#8221; , if someone asks would you like to come with. I love to travel in my home country and abroad. My mind and my heart remembers the views and the sounds and the smells of the flowers forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/cemitspring2023\/files\/2023\/02\/Rodos-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1081\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beauty of Rhodes Old Town. Kuva: Jonna-Tuulia Julkunen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I really am very good to finding best flights and hotels or travel packages. I spend hours and hours surfing different travel agency sites seeking the best and most apt packages to different places. I plan trips for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>me and my family<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>me and my husband<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>me and my friends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>me and my doughters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>me and my childhood family<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>my friends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>my relatives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>my daughter and her friends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what is my problem with not these plans mostly not going to happen in my case?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not good to save money, so I\u00b4ve spend my money straightly to traveling. Maybe money is one reason I am not going to all the trips I\u00b4d like to.<strong> I need to get money first and then go.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there is the problem number two: I need to work to get some money for traveling.<strong> There is no enough time for travelling<\/strong>. So many work gives only couple of weeks holiday possibility. Also these holidays are not in synchrony with people I\u00b4d like to travel with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe I am also a pit dreamer. I just love to dream and plan. <strong>All the dreams are not meant to happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what to do to this problem? Is it a problem at all?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic I\u00b4ve made some thought work about my traveler\u00b4s mind. I\u00b4ve stated that my mind needs this all-the-time-planning. My heart is made for travelling, even doing it mostly only from my couch. I started also to work in tourism, I started tourism studies and now I am writing a blog post about travelling.<strong> So somehow I am all the time<em> anywhere<\/em> <strong>in my mind<\/strong>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think now I\u00b4ve done something more for my dreams and maybe soon in the future next step is to step out of my living room and travel more.\u00a0 Until then I could try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prestigeonline.com\/th\/travel\/11-virtual-travel-experiences-to-enjoy-from-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Virtual Travelling<\/a> also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/cemitspring2023\/files\/2023\/02\/Malaga-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/cemitspring2023\/files\/2023\/02\/Malaga-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/cemitspring2023\/files\/2023\/02\/Malaga-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/cemitspring2023\/files\/2023\/02\/Malaga-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/cemitspring2023\/files\/2023\/02\/Malaga-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/cemitspring2023\/files\/2023\/02\/Malaga-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Can you hear the waves?
