No itinerary, no must-sees, no optimising. Just a quiet place and nothing to prove. Why the most restorative trips are often the least impressive ones.
With a whole world to see, some of us return to the same town, the same coast, the same café, every year. A quiet defence of going back instead of going new.
The itineraries you almost booked, the flights you let expire, the someday that’s still waiting. On travel’s quietest regret — and why the unbooked trip can haunt more than the bad one.
Nobody warns you that the comedown from a great trip can be worse than any pre-trip nerves. On reverse culture shock, the post-travel slump, and learning to land softly.
