A homebody who likes travelling. Part I. “Travelling homebody” is a concept that I came up with one day. My secret formula. But let me introduce myself a little bit first, please. I am Alex. A couch potato, a home skillet who working all days long at laptop, commuting between computer table and the fridge. Some people call it “to be a Freelancer”. And know what? I am a very adventure person if you take a closure look. Dreaming about finding one more nice unbeaten track where you can enjoy digging up your motorbike from the mud. Let's say somewhere in jungles of mountain Laos. Yes, I like it… But the idea of “chasing the globe”, isn’t it little bit overestimated now days? In the eighteenth century it was a real challenge to go to another country. And our grandparents too had to save money all their life to travel may be. And they taught us: “don’t wait, travel when you are young, see the world”. And then we studied all that lifehacks, backpacking, hitchhiking… And later Google Translate, Maps.Me, Couchsurfing… Thousands of reports, advices on almost any situation are one-click-length. Isn’t it too easy now and too messy to see everything in a short time? I have a request of you. If I ever pledge for the reckless undertaking like “30 countries in one year”, please put me to bed with a shovel. I'm not talking about other people. It’s ok. All we have different motivation and I know that what I call “skip the countries” for myself - it can be a very eventful and interesting voyage for other. At least you can post a photo from a new country fortnightly. “Hello from New Zealand!”, “Drinking coconut juice in Thailand!”, “Ola, Brazil!”. Very good for self-esteem. Especially when your sunny-turquoise photos are teasing your friends in the slushy Moscow. I am joking, of course, I have many friends who travel a lot and they are very interesting and nice people. And I like to skim your Instagram, guys! But for myself I find the journey arrangements for a new country, the road itself, tedious trivial stuff during the travel to be very time consuming to change countries often. I am a mathematician by my nature. Yes, two for one, couch potato and math lover. And I estimated that for a small 2-weeks trip I spend half time for organization and servicing myself and only half time for something not meaningless. My calculations are like this: […] to be continued

การเรียนแรกของฉัน... เกี่ยวกับการท่องเที่ยว ช่วงหลังๆ ผมเคยเดินทางท่องเที่ยวอยู่โดยไม่หยุดชะงัก ในที่สุดอยากหยุดพักในประเทศจีนชะลอตัวลงและเพลิดเพลินกับชีวิต หลังจากได้เดินทางหกเดือนแล้ว ได้เยี่ยมสิ่ประเทศแล้วก็มีเวลาพอที่วะคิดคำนึงถึงปัญหาตางๆ ขอเล่าประสบการณ์เกี่ยวกับการไม่อยู่บ้านนานๆ เข้าใจว่าทุกสิ่งที่มีอยู่ในบ้านช่วยให้ชีวิตน่าสนใจขึ้น แต่อีกด้านหนึ่งก็ไม่ปล่อยไห้บรรลุบางจุดประสงค์ของผม...
