As a way to not just feel butthurt about having to do it. We *get* to do it. I’ll have been in 3 major world cities in 36 hours (Paris, London, New York) and that’s just incredible, not a hassle.
the fact that you can fly to Paris round trip for like 450$ is so insane when you think about our ancestors using their life savings to take months long sea voyages
I’m currently on the road for a few days in a van with 4 other people and no AC. I’m trying to embrace this as an opportunity to practice keeping my mouth shut every time I have the urge to complain. I can fall into fixating on my suffering pretty easily and I want to get out of that habit. we’re all uncomfortable, and at the end of the day I’m really lucky to be traveling with friends doing what I love.
even if it leads to you chasing your tail a bit, i think travelling can be a little hectic and have it be a positive thing. pushes you, keeps you going, helps you enjoy the destinations too.
