I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do a lot of traveling in the past year. I’ve had the chance to visit family and friends, experience the relaxation of yoga retreats and see places that I’ve always wanted to see. It’s been great. However, I have definitely noticed that there are some things that I really miss about home when I travel.

Here are just a few of the things I miss when I’m not at home:

• My bedroom furniture. In fact, I miss everything about my bedroom – my perfectly-sized queen bed, my perfectly-lush bedding, my perfect-height bedside table. What can I say, I love my bedroom!
• My pets. These are the hardest things to leave behind when I travel. I know that they are taken care of well when I’m gone but I still feel bad leaving them behind!
• My routine. In a way it’s nice to leave behind the routine of daily life for the excitement of travel but in truth I kind of miss the things that I do in the way that I do them at home which is something that gets disrupted when I’m traveling.

I wouldn’t give up traveling just because I miss these things but it certainly makes me think twice about traveling more than I really want to or need to!
