Since I started travel nursing in 2016, I have told people that my life is a vacation. I specifically remember someone calling me, trying to sell me a timeshare, and that was my reply. My life is a vacation.
Palm trees in front of a sunset, white caps on mountains all around me on a hike. Then of course theres also the disarray of half folded clothing rifled through in a suitcase or a makeshift dresser drawer.
It’s a beautiful way of life, but for every beautiful moment, there can be frustration and heartache. Loneliness mingling with a sense of power and independence I never thought I would experience.
For me, the only way to make the most of all of these feelings and all of this growth is to jot it down. This isn’t the place to get recommendations on the best sushi in a city, or where to get “the photo”.
This is me attempting to make sense of what it means to love to travel. To be more mindful in my travels. Not wanderlust, but wanderlove. A deeper sense of what my experiences have meant, if they have even meant anything at all.
Cheers,
Juliet
