Travel vs Holidays

As a traveler we often meet people who think traveling is just holidays. When you decide to travel only on your holidays well, why not. Actually there is a big difference between travels and holidays. One could more likely see it as a full time job.

My body clock doesn’t like to work the way it should since my early age. That problem makes me being a heavy subject to insomnias. By that time I was traveling around Malaysia when my friend Aïda came to to say hi. The conversation is private but a short version was something like the following.


Aïda
How are you?
Nico
Insomnias… 3rd day
Aïda
Why don’t you take a pill? This situation is crazy, you need to sleep or you will fall sick.
Nico
I’m in Malaysia, I don’t trust pills here since I’m white, foreigner… and alone. Security is more important than an uncontrolled sleeping period
Aïda
Right

We all take holidays to rest. On the other hand, traveling is a full time job and sometimes you have to be your own bodyguard.
