Intrusive Thoughts/ OCD on holiday

My intrusive thoughts get so much worse when on holiday/vacation. So much so that I actively avoid travelling which is upsetting as I would love experience different cultures. As soon as I’m there I need to escape (come home). I think it’s a mix of my brain wanting to punish me when I’m most desperate for it not to, and not having a lot on my mind like when I’m kept going at work etc. I’m also aware of it now so almost bring it on myself. Has anyone had similar experience?
