I will also add that, for 17 years, DH traveled 100% of the time, home only on weekends. The last thing he ever wants to do again is get on a plane or spend a night in a hotel, so it actually works out well that his wife is not nagging him about travel. He spent nine months in Istanbul a few years ago. I almost joined him but, nah, he just bought me the coffee table book. 
I guess I fall into the middle of the road. I love to travel , but love my home too. It’s cozy, decorated the way I like and I am surrounded by nature.
I love to see places that interest me whether exploring cities in the USA or Europe. There are lots of places I want to visit , and lots that I have no interest in seeing.
I don’t like frequent travel ( we just back from a trip last Friday and husband is talking about traveling for business to Fla , Italy and also trip to his home country. I do not want to go anywhere right now since we just did go away and also, my pets really miss us 
Homebody.
No go go go for me either. My husband knows that I have an upper limit of 3 things I can do outside in one day. And that is more than I will happily do. For example, if a kid has ice skating lessons and another has a ball game I will resist mightly doing anything else that day. A perfect day is to go home early from work, read or watch tv, walk my dog, bathe, and go to bed at 9.
I’m known to be the person who leaves parties at 9 pm.
I love to travel, and when we do, we also try to fly first class and stay in really nice hotels. We don’t travel constantly, so we make it count when we do.
When we are in town, however, I’m very much a homebody.
We did rent a house in Carmel, CA for a month this summer. By the end of the third week, I was longing for home.
A dedicated homebody here.
I no longer travel because I just don’t want to do so. For some reason that’s hard for some to understand. My husband has overseas business trips; he sometimes take a few extra days for excursions of interest to him. I happily wave goodbye and putter around the house. Yes, I’ve gone in the past but I find travel a chore. I don’t like getting ready to go; I don’t like going; and I don’t like having to do all that needs doing once I get back. Happily my husband has no problem with this. I have friends that do though; I don’t understand why I can’t just say I like staying home. I can say it really seems to bother some people.
I guess I am the odd woman out here as I am definitely NOT a homebody. I love my home and am happy to come back after a trip. I am not usually bored at home, but I prefer to be out and about seeing people, learning new things, seeing interesting sites. Especially if I am somewhere I am not sure I will be again, I want to see as much as possible. But certainly have to build in some down time and sitting by the pool/ocean/mountain with a book. I find I am much more relaxed away from home as the “should be doing” thoughts are much farther away.
I am also not a homebody. I love to travel and don’t mind putting up with airport hassles because I want to see new places. The ocean is a mile from my house and I see it most days and appreciate having it close by when I want to just sit and read a book and relax. My H and I are talking about our next trip which I think will be a driving trip somewhere in Europe. H travels a lot right now for work and he still loves for us to go new places. We both love road trips and are looking forward to H getting a new truck next year for taking long trips here in the US.
I like the idea of travel, I just hate the planning. That falls on me and has most of our married life. DH doesn’t like researching anything on the internet and would much rather wing it when we get to our destination. The times we’ve done that, we’ve missed out on things that required reservations, or spent needless time in the hotel while he poured through guide books and brochures. I’d rather stay home than vacation like that.
In our younger days, we were go go go in our travels. Not so much anymore. We like going back to the hotel and resting up before dinner.
I also hate most road trips. I can’t sit in the car for that long and living in the NE, you’ll sit in the car for awhile to get anywhere.
Totally a homebody.
I’ve always been a homebody. I don’t mind going on a vacation with my family now and then, but my happy place is my home. I have a friend who is always asking me why my husband and I don’t travel more. I don’t travel much because I’d rather be home! I’ve gone through a lot with stage four cancer (doing well now) and lots of side effects from tons of treatment. Instead of coming out of all that wishing to see the world I came out of it knowing that I appreciate my normal day-to-day life and being home.
H is leaving soon for a 2.5 week trip in India. His sibs will all be there for nephews wedding.
I chose not to go.
When H and I travel he does nothing. I plan every little thing. If asked to plan even a hike he is doing it that day of over coffee.
I do not enjoy his family and now I do not have to plan for him or them.
Sounding harsh but I know that I would have jumped in as I am a master researcher.
I enjoy it but not ALL of the time/trip.
I think 2.5 weeks without him will be long but I am also enjoying watching him struggle with the
details 
.
I am currently on the fence regarding travel. Our very complicated trip to Iceland has left me wondering
if it matters to me anymore. Most of my bucket list does not seem very important any more.
I am fine at home and just need a few things to do with others each week.
@oregon101, What was so complicated about your trip to Iceland? I’m about ready to start researching a surprise trip there next summer for H’s 60th. Any advice wouid be appreciated.
I prefer renting a home or apartment for travel. I love having a comfortable space with cooking facilities for hanging out in the mornings. Has to be a nice place or I feel uncomfortable and get antsy. I don’t like hotels anymore and I don’t like packing and unpacking a lot. So my idea of travel is staying in one place that is gorgeous and day trips to other locations
Definitely not homebodies. Too many things to see and do around the world.
H is very laid back and mellow at home but when we travel he puts on his A game face. Seems like every single minute, we are doing and seeing something and when the kids used to complain that they were tired, he would tell them they could rest when they get home.
I used to do all the planning years ago but now we hire a travel agent to plan our itineraries and arrange private guides with drivers everywhere. We also like to stay in nice centrally located hotels and I never cook whenever we travel.
However I do look forward to going home…
Coralbrook, I am with you. But I really like condotels, like time share units rented directly from the hotel. The convenience of a condo with every other day tidying and no prepaid cleaning fees and damage deposits. I want to have my cake and eat it, too. :
We did the ring road and (I) had to figure out just how far to travel each leg and where to stay and where to eat
and just what activities each day.
We went at an optimal time for 16 days and yet each day but 2 days were met with sideways rain and thus nearly none of the activities we planned.
Others go and have an amazing time! Ours was way too weather compromised.
Our trip was super expensive and, while some great memories, disappointing.
And for me just a ton of work that did not pay back.
My advice would be to stay in the capital and take day trips.
People say the food is not good but we found wonderful food nearly everywhere.
Researched to death but that aspect did pay off.
@emilybee - I just went to Iceland in July. It was a fabulous and fun trip. Let me know if you have any questions about what we did.
I am on a road trip, sitting before daylight in a Historic Register B&B drinking so-so coffee in my room out of a styrofoam cup, wishing I were at my own house: better architecture and antiques and art, and special order dark roast coffee in a china cup. However, I’ll enjoy myself once the day gets rolling. These days I travel to keep family and very close friends company and it is a great bonding experience, but if it were up to me, we’d all stay home a whole lot more. Everytime all the bucket list trips have been accomplished, someone proposes a new one. My life these days seems to be a series of lucky problems - like this wretched coffee.
I am definitely a homebody, but do love a good adventure every now and then. I like to stay in one place and I enjoy the destination, but don’t care much for the travel involved going to and fro. I don’t really like to fly and don’t like to drive at night. Sounds like I may just be a stick in the mud
I like traveling with my family (but funds are limited). However, I am perfectly happy sitting at home all weekend. Not sure if I’m a homebody or just introverted and lazy.
