I hate to feel at home when I am travelling

Have you heard that one before? Maybe you have. But then, so many people among the many I have travelled with, seem to forget this cliche. Why would one want to carry their home along with them when are out travelling? There are those who miss the comforts of the home environment. There are those who lament the non availability of a shower so that they can shampoo their hair. There are those who wilt when shown the next tree to complete their morning chores. And then there are those comfort lovers who will spend a whole lot of money to go to some exotic place, and spend the next few days cocooned in their hotel rooms, play cards, drink booze and come back with happy memories of a wonderful holiday. Sad really. I, for one, travel becaise I want to see what the rest of the world looks and lives like. And I revel in each new adventure. If I wanted to feel at home when I was travelling, I would never leave home in the first place. I hope I am in the majority.
