3. Every time you try a different kitchen, you think at the moment you will eat the same in that country.

9. You can sleep everywhere.
Sleeping on an airport floor, in a crowed hostel or in an uncomfy tent, it doesn’t really matter for you. You have developed a magnificent sense of adaption for any conditions. You can sleep without a problem on a plane, train or bus. A travel addicted knows that sleeping while he’s traveling is the wise thing to do!
10. You have lots of friend around the world!
Besides wonderful memories and experiences, the best thing that you will keep with you at the end of any travels are new friends. It’s so easy meet people while you are traveling. On top of that, your new mates will be crazy for adventures like you! So, you can easily be inspired from their interesting stories when you are going to choose the next destination. Maybe, the upcoming journey will be at their hometown!
