"There's a part of me that thinks perhaps we go on existing in a place even after we've left it...”

After my month long journey of travels and now the time to decompress from my trips, I wrote down a few travel tips that I think are important to remember when traveling anywhere for an extended period of time, and to remind yourself of these daily.

• Pack light
• Layering is everything
• You may not feel 100%; Bring vitamins
• Don’t stress the little things
• Things don’t always go the way you plan; Go with the flow
• Remember you will get where you need to be
• Be aware
• Be open minded
• You’re out of your comfort zone; Embrace the culture
• Give yourself down time
• Take a LOT of pictures
• It’s okay if every place isn’t your favorite, enjoy it anyways
• It’s not always easy or fun, but it will be worth it
• Enjoy every second, don’t take it for granted
• Don’t forget to be thankful and respectful
• Put your stuff in a safe place even when you leave the room (trust me)
