Travelling I would say is one of the ways I get to relieve myself after a long period of work. when I need to slow down, rethink, analyze and strategize, I choose to travel. When I need to use my paycheck and love myself or give myself an incentive, I choose to travel. so I consider travelling one of the ways of getting myself time as well as indulging in a self-love, self-care routine
When I travel, I get to make new friends, experience tradition and cultures, stumble into religions and try new food while learning new recipes. i listen a lot when i travel, I hear the way a problem is solved, a mannerism of approach, meditation and people's way of life. it's quite interesting. I love journaling throughout my travels and I love taking a lot of photographs, not of myself but of nature and its riches and its abundance of glory. God quite did it.
Furthermore, during my self care, I visit the library or a book shop, either I borrow or buy a book specifically about romance. I love love 💕. Then I book a spa session, release the tension on my shoulders and back. then I go visit a cafe, get any coffee of my choice (p.s I love to try out different coffees in different countries), and I start reading my book.
Reading saves me a lot, outside the romance, I learn a thing or two. Afterwards, only after a few chapters, I visit a supermarket and get a lot of snacks that I'd like to try out then I return to my room in a hotel and get about two hours of rest. when I wake up, I'd go get lunch, specifically something new to change my taste buds😂, a lot of times it doesn't turn out great, then I'll take a long stroll around the city centre, maybe I'd visit the museum or just a popular tourist site.
And when the night comes I'd just have my snacks for dinner, surf the net, read what I wrote during journaling and scroll through the photos I took. I'd go through a long list of what I do during travels but I'd spare you the pains of reading through a lot.
So while you're at it, give yourself a break and travel, make new friends, scream at the mountain top if that helps you, eat new food and leave your room and your office space. Travelling is the best activity to try out. it's peaceful and relivin
