How Travel Transformed Me | Spontaneity, Leaning Into Discomfort & Saying 'Yes'
I’ve recently contracted the travel bug - HARD. So today, I am here to share my experience of how challenging my perceived comfort zones, pushing myself into unfamiliar environments, and embracing the beauty of spontaneity, has truly transformed my perspectives and mindset.Alongside my good friend Joss, a fellow adventure-adrenaline-junkie, we discuss the wonderful nature of travel and adventure, how it connects you with your true values, how it allows you to form unpredictable yet incredible relationships with likeminded others, forces you to be present, and how it inspires a healthier work life balanceI still can’t quite fathom that within a 3 month window, i went from anxiety attacks in my office, consumed my academic stress and panic, to feeling comfortable and confident wandering aimlessly around multiple foreign cities (totally alone), absorbing culture, history, saying ‘yes’ to last minute plans, and truly living my ‘Lizzie Mcguire’ reality.From dirt biking in the Moroccan desert, to witnessing sunset in Florence on my 22nd birthday and watching the magical skyline illuminate and transform in a silhouette, to climbing up mountains in Scotland, collecting a plethora of lifelong memories, creating friendships and growth provoking experiences…. I hope a few of my recent adventures inspires you to be a little spontaneous, to lean into discomfort, and challenge yourself. Because my goodness - it is absolutely worth it.
