I am good at this.
I am really good at living out of a small bag and always looking half-decent. I am good at packing just enough and not losing half of my things when I go anywhere. I am good at meeting new people and diving headfirst into a new social structure. I am good at finding a worthwhile adventure no matter the path lies ahead.
I am not good at planning or sticking to a plan. I am not good at walking past a dog without saying hi. I am not good at recognizing tourist traps or any sense of direction. I'm not very good at staying out once I'm tired or navigating my way home alone at night.
I am learning how much I have missed this. How much has changed since I last traveled. I'm realizing that as much as I put down my college experience, so much of my comparisons here as well as my daily lens, I got from my semester abroad. I am learning what it is to travel with another person and therein what pieces of myself could be worked upon.
More travel stories to come.
