Are there several elements in your behaviour that indicate that you are addicted to travel? If we asked your family and closest friends, would they say you are obsessed?
On some websites, you may find the term"dromomania". However, some scientific studies indicate that travel is linked to happiness, as it allows you to have pleasant memories and experiences.
Let's explain 5 symptoms where we can observe that you are addicted to travel.
You know the phone numbers for travel insurance.
You have in your wallet more or less 3 coins from different countries.
You look at your passport very often, turning the pages like someone with a valuable book.
You prefer a plane ticket to anything in the world.
You link any amount to something related to travel.
Now let's see what Romania is. The term can be confused with travel addiction, but they have nothing to do with it. Dromomania is cited as the traveler's flight or dissociative flight. In this case, we are referring to a serious disorder, which is included among dissociative disorders in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), explains psychologist Juan Armando. He explains that dissociative disorders are pathological disorders characterized by disturbances or failures of memory, consciousness, identity and/or perception. These disorders affect a person's thoughts, feelings and actions.
When is travel a problem?
Travelling is not a problem, it occurs when the person who travels is not comfortable with himself or herself and uses travel as a way to avoid the reality around him or her. When a person doesn't enjoy their work or their daily life, they can cause stress or depression and embark on trips that allow them to escape from their reality.
