RE: Been there done that, loved it all

in Reflections5 months ago

I like recalling those bad moments and how I dealt with them, how I turned them around and created good ones from them; it adds a different element to the memories and, after the fact, the pain or problems caused by them so they're just things that happened.

Sort:  

I don't forget them. but I don't call them to mind when I need travel moments for a gentle reset from stress 😀

All those unpleasant situations made me improve - in planning, in preparing for the trip, in dealing with them when they occur.
An example of a humorous situation:
I went to a business meeting in another country in one day, leaving early in the morning, returning late in the evening. a meeting that lasted 4 hours. I only brought my laptop...
Due to the storm, the plane that was supposed to bring me back home couldn't land and so I stayed far from home, with only my laptop.
Not even a toothbrush... Not even spare socks and underwear, a clean shirt, nothing...

Since then I know, even if I go for a short time, far from home, I carry a small backpack with me, with a few spare pieces of clothing...
