You know you’re travelling too much when… | Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.

Ricardo had a post at his blog discussing some symptoms that signal whether you've been travelling too much.

You know your passport number by memory.
You know the date your visa to a certain country was issued.
You know the crew of your international airline of choice by name, or at least recognize their faces.
You have seen most of the Academy Award nominees in the comfort of your plane seat.
You feel more comfortable having dinner at Dallas Fort Worth international than at your local downtown area.
Most of your books have been purchased at an Airport book store.
But the worst is when you start to recognize Customs and Border protection agents! This happened to me on my last trip."

To which I added:

"At
least the last one couldn't happen to me as most of my business trips
(when I was working) were within Schengen. No borders means no border
agents.

The one about visas is definitely true, though.

The best time to call relatives or friends is while waiting at the airport lounge.
Your local airport starts to feel eerily cozy.
You don't know anymore which language you should speak on arrival."

But I guess my dad is the ultimate authority, as his passport shows what happens when you've travelled too much:

This is what happens when you travel too much
