Ego Trip?

I view travel experiences the same way I do my movies - a) Story b) Characters c) Setting
For me the moment isn't merely about the location but the people I meet along the way and the story I create in that environment. The characters include fellow travelers and locals but also my own persona in that period. Who was I?

'Total Recall' (1990)

At 'Rekall', a company that provides memory implants of vacations
BOB McCLANE: What is it that is exactly the same about every single vacation you have ever taken?
DOUGLAS QUAID: I give up.
McCLANE: You! You're the same. No matter where you go, there you are. It's always the same old you. Let me suggest that you take a vacation from yourself. I-I know it sounds wild. It is the latest thing in travel. We call it the Ego Trip.

"Choose your own Adventurer"

Its day 350. Wow!
I find myself getting nostalgic already. In just over a month I'll be back on home soil. To be honest, I welcome it but I already find myself reminiscing on my many borrowed realities, my "Ego-Trips".
