1. Travelogues turn you on

Be it in the form of books, magazines, feature films, television shows or documentaries. Pouring over pages after pages of travel related articles, sitting glued to your chair while watching a travel based show or listening to someone recount their adventurous travel tales excites you, entices you and makes you happy.
2. Researching a new place is your forte

Discovering snippets of information on a town’s history, its art and culture, monuments or
tourist attractions is an immensely satisfying and rewarding experience. You would happily burn the midnight oil studying about a faraway land from the comfort of your own home.
3. Discussing different cities / cultures is your favourite pastime

Exchanging information on rituals, beliefs, food, laws etc with other like-minded
people keeps you going. If you meet someone well-travelled, you pick their brains about their journey, what they saw and what they experienced.
4. You know as much about a place as a local resident

You might not remember the last time you actually packed your bags and hopped onto a bus / train / airplane, but you probably know more than an average tourist who just visits the popular ‘touristy haunts’ and does not feel the need to explore, take in the
very essence of an area.
Actual travel may be limited to wishful thinking for you, but in no way means that you are unaware of the world around you. You might be an armchair traveller by choice, due to restricted time / resources or any other personal / professional reason but you know your lust for anything travel related isn’t lesser than anyone else.
