Dromomania is a medical diagnosis, which is best described as pathological tourism, or a ceaseless desire to travel from one place to another. Sufferers are usually so tightly grasped by these impulses that they simply cannot resist and resign to a life of constant traveling.

Below is a list of symptoms, which you can use to check if you might have Dromomania:

1. Your suitcase is never fully unpacked.

2. You can curse in at least six languages.

3. The only reason you do any job is to make money for your next trip.

4. Flight attendants know your name, even before looking at your ticket.

5. You have more friends abroad than in your own country.

6. You start planning your next trip before even having returned from the current one.

7. When you are abroad, tourists often ask you for directions. And you have an answer right away.

8. When you sit behind your desk, you reach back for your seat belt.

9. You’ve flown for more kilometers than you’ve driven your own car.

10. You own more of those tiny bottles of shampoo and shower gel than you the regular ones.

11. When you wake up at home you feel weird.

12. Sometimes you instinctively try to wrap a regular pillow around your neck, like you would a travel pillow.

13. You room is overflowing with souvenirs.

14. You are now an expert at currency exchange rates and always have a few types of currency on you.
