Running away from your problems is never the answer. But a good vacation can be the escape we all need to move in a different direction.

Even though when I’m at home I’m a reclusive Grinch that doesn’t like talking to people, I love to talk to new people when traveling. I don’t hesitate to ask people how they are doing, talk to our driver, or make jokes with a street vendor.

Now when I travel, I wake up early to go explore. I love being able to see a city wake up. It’s calm, and you get to enjoy the sunrise.

I also love travel because it feeds into my bag addiction. I get to try new ways of packing my bag, test clothing, and experiment with tech.

I may glamorize it because I don’t do it often, who knows if I traveled full time would I love it still?
