As a long time traveler and someone who's actually been living and working abroad for 25 years, your piece was truly a nostalgic read and reminded me of my first trip to Europe all those years ago.

This resonated with me because it really speaks to the transformative power of travel, how something that starts as an escape from pain can evolve into one of life's most defining moments.

It’s a reminder that growth often happens outside of our comfort zones, and solo travel offers an incredible opportunity for self-discovery.

Thanks for sharing your refreshing journey and a trip down memory lane!

Keep on travelin' my man!
