Planning aside, I’m a travel junkie.

I have life ADD. I feel ALIVE when I’m on the move, jet-setting worldwide. I love the adrenaline rush that comes from being immersed in a random culture and forcing myself to swallow the language, cuisine, people, drinks, partying, scenery, and cultural nuances.

Call it wonder. Wanderlust. Discovery. Fernweh. The Anthony Bourdain effect. I call it living in the purest form imaginable.

Dropping yourself somewhere new—disoriented, without a map or bearings—puts things into perspective. It immediately takes you out of your comfort zone and washes away the self-inflicted stress caused by, like, missing a few workouts, eating gluten, finishing your latest TV show on Netflix, or not getting a text back.

Instead, I’m hyper-focused on my most basic primal needs — finding the best spot to grab a local beer and a killer burger (or whatever the local cuisine is).

    This is great advice - and struck a chord with me personally since I recently moved to New York from the slower South and have been struggling with the lifestyle. I’ve been following this website since 2015 and I can’t tell you how huge of a difference it’s had on me, so thank you so much for all your hard work!

    • Thanks a ton for the kind words D and glad you found this helpful! NYC really is a unique beast — I’ve lived here for 10+ years and it still continuously surprises and challenges me. Keep chugging along!
