Focus on work has now made life feel a bit stale and dull, would a holiday or travel really make a difference?

[user1499590110]

I've always been career focused. i barely travelled anywhere during my twenties as a result. but now i feel bored with life. job is good but the initial struggle to get into the career is over - i'm there. so what next? i feel a bit ashamed to say that i dont know where to start really with enjoying life outside of work. im thirties if that is relevant, and single (though i would like not to be, i dont want to put life on hold until i meet someone significant).

friends and family tell me to travel a bit. part of me wants to, the other part doesnt know where to start. is it worth it? will i simply feel alone? im alone most sundays so i guess a sunday alone somewhere else wouldnt be so bad...

can anyone give me any ideas to kickstart my interests outside of work?

Use your Sunday to go on day trips. If you find you enjoy them, and enjoy traveling alone, start going further a field.

You may love travelling alone. You may enjoy travelling with someone.

Personally I think travelling is wonderful. I have done it a lot in my life and not regretted the adventure. And when it wasn't so fun, it was an experience.

You could try couch surfing if you want to be more social in the places you visit and spend time with locals. I found you get more out of a place of you have a local to share the secrets.
You could also try going to met up groups in your area. There are websites. They are not dating sites but you will find people with similar interests and that may help get you started.
