Your point about the mindset shift from "I have to experience everything now" to prioritizing rest and pacing yourself really hits home.
It's easy to get caught up in FOMO while traveling, but recognizing when it's time to recharge can make the journey so much more enjoyable and sustainable in the long run.
It’s great to see how you've embraced balance over burnout, and it’s a reminder that missing out on a few events is often the key to experiencing many more down the line.
