I’m going on day three of being gone from home for my week and a half long trip.
And let me tell ya, friends. I don’t care how many people glamorize travel and state how jealous they are of me that I’m traveling. Traveling isn’t all glamorous. It’s actually very unpredictable, and could be very hard.
I’m hungry since I didn’t eat enough my last meal because I only ate the non-perishable snacks that I brought with me. I’m going from hotel to hotel, and airbnb to airbnb. I’m tired because I still have a crazy long to-do list and deadlines to meet, and have been up late at night trying to stay caught up with everything. And not knowing what the weather will be like is crazy stressful. I way overpacked and now I just have stuffed bags that I’ll be trailing through the airport.
I love traveling most definitely more than the average person. I crave it, I long for it. And if it’s been more than a month that I’ve gone without traveling (which doesn’t happen often), then it becomes all I can think about, and I immediately begin planning my next trip.
Traveling is my high. It’s invigorating. It’s a breath of fresh air. It’s everything. But it’s also hard, and definitely not glamorous, and messes with schedules and routines and sanity at times.;)
But it’s also crazy worth it and although sometimes we have to stay in crappy hotels, skip meals, fall off routines, and we don’t sleep enough, it’s worth it.
Because this world has SO much to offer and there is so much for us to see, that it’s a waste for all of us who don’t take the time to venture out and see all that God has painted for us.
So I’m off to the beautiful state of Colorado, and let’s just say I’m a liiiittle excited to experience the mountains in a new light. Let’s just hope they let me take these overpacked bags of mine with me to get there.;)
