Same here. My theory is that when travelling you are not bored, thus you have nothing to "escape" from.
The only problem with my theory is that this effect (ie. not wasting time) lasts a couple of days after returning from a trip. This should not happen because you are in the same context as when you were liberally wasting time.
I also move countries a lot. The first 1-2 months at a new country I am wasting time significantly less compared to when I have settled.

When you return back home, home is somewhat a different experience from the day to day drudgery. I think it's just that our brains hate boring routines and modern capitalism has made your life extremely Specialized and routine.
