Do I like the idea of traveling but not actually traveling itself?

I like the idea of traveling. I love the months before it and planning what I want to see. I’m genuinely so excited for the trip. Then I get there and it’s like I feel empty or something. I see people’s pictures of them traveling to all of these amazing countries and think to myself “wow they’re SO lucky” then when I travel to countries it’s like I feel nothing. I try to appreciate what’s in front of me and be in the moment but it doesn’t work. It’s like I don’t take anything in. When I’m traveling, all I want to do is sit around. I always thought of myself as an interesting person but this trait about myself bothers me because I feel like I’m just boring. Most people absolutely love traveling and it changes their life, but I feel like I don’t take advantage of it all. I really want to like to travel. I don’t know if it’s something that’s wrong with me or if it’s all in my head. If anyone has similar experiences or solutions please let me know. I’m currently in Paris and went to London yesterday and I just feel indifferent. I should be loving my life right now. I’m 23 years old and have dreamed and obsessed about going to Paris since I was in 8th grade, but now that I’m finally here I just don’t feel extremely passionate. It just worries me because most people find themselves when they travel but I feel like traveling makes me feel more lost than ever.
