Travel brain is different from regular brain and I can't explain why.
Paying $8 for water feels reasonable.
At home you'd riot.
You'd check three stores to save 50 cents.

Post-travel depression is real and nobody talks about it enough.
Day 1 you're just tired.
The jet lag hits.
You sleep at weird hours.
You're physically present but mentally still in another timezone.

There's an unwritten code of airport conduct and some of you are violating it daily.
The middle seat gets both armrests.
This is not a debate.

The middle seat person got nothing.

Nobody tells you that hostel life rewires your brain.
Privacy is a luxury you learn to live without.

You learn to sleep through snoring from six different countries.
You accept that someone will always be rustling a plastic bag at 2am.

Nobody warns you that you come back different.

Something about being in a new place makes everything feel more alive.
