AOL Travel News:

I love what I do and I never get sick of it, but there are times when I do something and think, "Hmm, maybe I travel too much." Here are some surefire signs that you too might travel too much. If you see these symptoms in yourself or a friend, it's time for an intervention. Or maybe it's just time to jump on a plane.

You've traveled too much if....

...you wake up in a hostel next to a hairy-backed man named Gustav

...you get a sudden craving for fried monkey brain

...you arrive back in the US and are amazed the country has elected a black president

Been there, done that, got the T shirt. For a few years my 'address' was a PO box in Florida then a PO box in Puerto Rico. Also... Don't forget the ability to pack in ten minutes without forgetting anything.

After you get home, you hold your hands under the bathroom faucet, expecting the water to turn on by itself!

I don't even have a TV to TiVo on but I'm carrying Romanian Lei, Moldovan Lei, Transnistrian Rubles, Euros and Dollars in my wallet at the moment and almost all of these are true...

11) You wake up and have to look out the window to know the language in which to order breakfast.

12) You gave up on your cell phone months ago and mailed it home

13) You walk out the door and forgot what city you're in - again.

14) You have stopped reading/watching all US news bc it's so pathetically presented and simply follow the BBC or Al Jazeerah, no matter your current location.

15) You have no idea what the name of your hotel is and don't care.

No. 10: You're always hung-over, bleary-eyed, and late for the next flight.

No. 10 b) - the security woman manning the high resolution complete body scanning x-ray machine laughs at you BEFORE you go through - as ,she already knows you and what your 'carrying'.

Well, judging from the photo that accompanies the headline, I'd like to suggest that reason number one may have to do with this gentleman's choice of footwear; no WONDER he's exhausted!
