I’ve found myself in a bit of a tourist funk… or maybe I’ve found myself thinking that it’s near impossible to escape a tourist funk. More pertinently, I’m preparing to embark on my own offshoot of the work-cation, when I go to study abroad in Ireland this fall. It’s far from quite so degrading as the typical work-cation, but the school-cation also engenders questions of expectations, excitement and consequence. A typical vacation, work-cation, study-cation, you name it. I suppose being a tourist need not be a pejorative, even if it is being a naïve protesting idealist.
