The Things I Love About Home: A Paint Photo Essay 3

Travel Blog - Ross French - January 23, 2012

cheeseburgers

After sleeping on rock hard, single, dorm beds my body craves coziness. I once picked a hostel simply because their common area was a room filled with crap loads of giant pillows.

That being said, coming home to a queen size bed is quite wonderful and somewhat frightening as well.

As much as people say they don’t like TV it can be pretty convenient when you’re bored, tired or procrastinating. I don’t even think about TV when I’m travelling, but it’s sweet to have around when home.

If you know me at all, you’re aware of my slipper obsession. I am ALWAYS wearing slippers. BIG. FUZZY. BRIGHT. SLIPPERS.

(Not a logical thing to travel with).

slippersWhen I’m home, I no longer have to convert currencies in my head. SCORE!

(Technically I couldn’t really do it when I was travelling either).

bananaLastly, I enjoy that I can tell my drunk male friends to take off their shirts and they do it… I learned the hard way abroad, that this is not a normal request and you probably shouldn’t demand it from people you’ve just met.

What’s your favorite thing to come home to after travelling?

    lots of pillows, men ripping off each other’s shirts – travel really is all about the simple pleasures. 🙂

    After travel, I like to come home to a couch. Sounds simple. But sitting on a bed or rock hard chair in a hotel room is taxing.

      yeah and if you’re in a hostel, being ALONE on a couch with the ability to lay down and watch a movie is pretty awesome!

      I miss sushi too!! I missed it so much when I lived in England, that I learned how to make it. It’s also noticeably absent through most of Eastern Europe. I also miss my dog(s)…coming home to them is one of the best things.

    Well, after my four months on a ship–the first time in five years, I’ve traveled without a phone–I loved coming back to uninterrupted connectivity! Oh, and my puppy, too =)

    Whenever I come home from a trip I enjoy being an absolute slob and not having to worry about anybody stealing my stuff 🙂
