I don’t stress about travel prep anymore. I enjoy it.
I enjoy thinking about what I’ll wear, gifts I’ll share, and what I’ll do. I give myself hope.
The inverse is to stress about travel. Imagine someone giving themselves stress about what to wear, gifts to buy, and planning every second of the day. Some people like that. I don’t.
The more I learn about myself the more I learn that I enjoy simple, thoughtful, efficient, and value-adding experiences. Packing my bags is no exception.
