There are two types of people in the world, those who are homebirds and love to be near the Mammy and those who wouldn’t think twice about jumping on the next airplane out of Dublin Airport. There are a few signs that you may be addicted to abandoning the country. Here are eleven of them.
1. You wake up and think you’re anywhere else but Ireland.
Oh no, I thought I was back in Japan.
2. You head to the travel agent the second you get off the plane.
Feck this, I’m getting back on a plane out of here.
3. You live off part-time jobs so you can leave for the next tour.
No, I need to work in a job where I can saunter out the door and they won’t care.
4. Anytime someone mentions an exotic location, you answer with “Oh, I’ve been there…”
Your friends are either sick of listening to you or listen to you as the travel guru.
5. There’s a map of the world on your wall.
Not only is there a map on the wall, it’s marked in several locations depending on where you are going to next.
6. You can pack an entire suitcase in 3.5 seconds flat.
And when we say pack, we mean necessities. Rolled. 3.5 seconds flat.
7. You get the shakes if you haven’t left the country in a while…
Need… to… get… out… rising.
8. You compare all foods to foreign countries…
Well, in France, they sell those in bakeries and they’re much better than here.
9. You have several currencies in your wallet.
Oh, SORRY! I didn’t mean to give you sterling.
10. You compare prices of products abroad.
Well, I can get this for much cheaper on my travels.
11. You cry when you have to go home, not when you’re leaving.
No. Let’s go again. Right now.
