It's strange how on the road and back home you can be two wholly different people. I've heard the explanations that say it's just escapism, that the willingness to step out and live a little more is temporary, fleeting and unnatural. I've never held to those opinions and only wish I could bring a little more of that travel-self into my real life. There is a post waaay back in the archives of my own blog on a similar theme, which you might enjoy (but are welcome to remove from the comment - I don't want to be a link troll :) at http://www.richardstupart.com/2009/05/04/doppelganger/#more-583 Hi Brett

It's weird, right? Especially considering that this seems to be a pretty open hey-how-ya-doin' town. Hey Donald, thanks.

I can and will talk to anybody about almost everything but I am more reserved here at home. It is easier at a bar but outside there I feel the walls come up and sink back into some weird shell that I really do not have after the first 30 seconds of meeting someone.
