I'm with you on the 'reliving' bit. For me, going through my photos and writing up special memories and anecdotes about it cheers me up. During that acute down phase, though, I find it best to make myself get out and socialize, or have friends over for dinner. It's harder to sulk with friends around. And, of course, plotting my next trip helps. It's like getting over a broken heart; you always feel better once you are in love again! ;p I found you via the Wanderlust Journey's blog, btw. Nice blog here! I'll be back. :) ~Tui Great advice.

I recently came back from a trip to Bali and the post trip blues was pretty intense. Yes, I do think getting back into routine and quickly planning your next trip helps a lot. I personally meditate as well. Morning meditations help to set the tone of the day, energizes me and gets me raring to go! Thanks for this article :) How interesting that you would mention this!

I don't know yet, actually. I guess I never felt it. But the discovery that long trips might give place to these kind of feelings is one of the reasons that I decided to travel the world, for one year, starting next month! I even wrote a post about it, on my blog. I really hope that it doesn't happen to me, but I'm ready to experience, if that's the price to pay. I will keep your tips handy, to use them if necessary upon my return. Thanks! Hi! I don’t know yet, actually. I guess I never felt it.
