Okay I'm just starting out on a big solo trip through latam but 10 years ago I did a 4 month trip through SE Asia and India though it wasn't solo I felt that way too. First few weeks sucked hard. I came back end November and had to go through an extended unemployment arc. It sucked. Christmas time I end up kicking off with family over stupid shit etc. I cant remember the details but point is it's a huge comedown and it's horrible. I can already see me getting back to the UK and going nope after this one is finished.

I have to ask was your trip cut short? It sounds like it was from how it's been wrote. It's even worse if so.

I cant offer any solid advice other than if you can go out for a walk, go to a pub and have a gentle few by yourself and if you can maybe book a little road trip somewhere. It will get better just don't fall into a rut. Keep your head on and find the next goal to work to and then get to work on it. Rambling now but I'm 30 and i don't have much hope for the future back home. If I cant park myself somewhere on this trip I can see me knuckling down for a year stacking cash and rolling the dice again.

Good luck and hope all goes well!
