The Psychology of “Next Trip Thinking”

Why do we start planning the next trip before the current one is even over? This episode looks at the psychology behind anticipation, control, and emotional escape — and why our minds are often more comfortable in the future than in the present. From dopamine-driven planning habits to end-of-year anxiety and identity tied to movement, this conversation unpacks how travel can quietly turn into a forward-only experience. 🎧 It’s not about stopping planning or romanticizing presence, but about understanding what we’re actually chasing when “what’s next” becomes louder than “what’s here.”📱👉 ⁠⁠⁠Download the Mytrippl app⁠⁠⁠ to start planning your next adventure!
