Ah, don't these lifestyle articles put people in a box? They also kinda kill the activity for the next person in line. Here is a lifestyle box, do you fit in it? Hippy's can't wear suits, girls that travel can't enjoy jewelry.. on it goes.
Correlation is not causation. Travel or no travel if you're a bore, you will be a bore until you learn the difference. The best antidote for poor character is a good mirror.

What exactly is the alternative to boredom?
I have yet to meet a woman who happens to ride motorcycles internationally who was boring. Might just be my perception, and granted I might not decide to travel her, but boring, no way,
And by the way dan.e, what's wrong with being boring? The majority of the productively employed people are hanging out (most of the time) in boredom.
And, many are boring as hell. Let's look at the alternatives, they could be angry, antagonistic, hostile or covertly hostile, in grief, pain or fear or in apathy. Hanging out in boredom is not so bad when considering many of the alternatives.
For someone who is chronically antagonistic, someone who is boring might appear dull, (as appears all the other emotions too) but anyone who is chronically interested in people, in ideas etc can
easily find something interesting in a bored person and lift that person and themselves out of boredom and into a higher emotion.
Ola - are you there?

Being married 36 years, the woman I married back then is a very different person now, and the same is true for me. Give each other space for your passions. We both have passions, and generally not the same passions. Realize too that passions often change over time.
Motorcycles and motorcycle travel are mine, one passion that has been consistent for me in one form or another for my whole adult life. In the same way, I have absolutely no interest to run multiple marathons and other even more insane athletic challenges. The bond is that we both possess and follow passions, and we give each other space and respect to follow them.
From my perspective, the space for both of you to follow your dreams and interests is important.

I have met and been in relationships with some fabulous girls. It's me who doesn't want to settle down and has the desire to wander. Not to other women....just to be free to make my own choices.
Most of my friends don't understand how I think about relationships. One of them told me once that he hoped I would change my view about meeting someone to spend my life with and that was proof to me that he just didn't get it. I have no desire to 'fix' myself because I don't consider myself to be broken. I have many good friends, some of them women, and that's good enough for me. I haven't been badly hurt by any woman so I'm not running away from anything.
Peace in one's own mind is much more important than walking a path that most others walk. I happen to like the path I walk so the idea of a lady who plans to move on kinda appeals to me!

I think that it's kind of a strange question. Everyone travels these days. The world is a constant moving place and people should always be available and should not restrict each other. We are a group of friends who travel a lot and since most of my friends are men I've seen them hook up with a lot of different girls. The only long term thing that stuck were surprisingly Slovenian women (like three of them are now dating those girls). We were kinda making fun of them but started looking into it online and found this really funny article that was actually very on point ( https://idateadvice.com/heres-why-you-should-start-dating-slovenian-women) like my travel companions really said that everything is freaking true. we were kinda stuned but hey if it works for them it works

Hello you girls on the road
Hello you girls on the road.
My name is Karl and I will start a 3 month motorcycle trip in June. The route will go east from Germany. If at this time you are traveling around and around or are just interested in writing then I would be happy to hear from you.
Greetings Karl

Bikes tend to attract independent spirits. When you're out on a bike, even riding with a buddy, your thoughts are your own and you're not drawn into the sort of group chats that happen in a car. You don't have to worry about dragging the other passengers round with you either, if you want to go your own way you can. Travelling with a pillion? Fine, you'll come out of it either closer than before or hating one another. Because bikes are a remarkable filter. If someone wants to be with you after all the spannering, bike related chat, adventures and misadventures, they're a good sort... and if they don't, you're both better off knowing.
It kinda depends why you travel. If it's for the experience you can choose to have experiences together, if it's to get away from something then all too often people find they bring their problems with them.

Hiii.... I am mid 40s now, with kid (7) and spouse I am getting daring and he is growing to be less... while thinking about a trip. I hope this community will show me a way to deal with this situation.
