Some people need to jump out of a perfectly running airplanes with a parachute to combat boredom, while others are happy with sitting by a lake all day with a cocktail.
Reading a book or Geo-caching are "small" footprint hobbies. Me I like woodworking, smoking and grilling for family and friends, and other "larger" footprint hobbies to hold my interest. If you're planning on selling everything, and hitting the road then one should know themselves prior.
We're always "energized" when we're on the road. New sights, new people, new foods, new everything, very stimulating, educational, and age defying. Once we stop, it then depends on the location for how long it takes before "hitch itch" kicks in. If all we did was travel 1-200 miles then sat for 2-4 weeks or more(for us) we would be very bored in some locations given our need for larger footprint hobbies.
For me, a very sad thing is to pull into a campground and see a couple sitting in zero gravity chairs watching people come and go all day. First thing that comes to my mind is "this ain't no dress rehearsal."
I fully understand that's a stereotype, but it seems to hold true when I visit with them, they're enjoying the area while the bank is building. I guess enjoying an area is based on ones perspective, and I have a different one then theirs.
