Life right now is moving at a pace that seems like warp speed. The last few years have been going by faster than the Korean Express train. While, most people are caught up in work, school, and family routines the seasons are flying by.

I too know what this feeling is like having a mundane daily routine. My schedule is work, sleep, write, work, and then repeat. Balancing a hectic schedule leaves little room for socializing with friends and family. This is typical life for many in America right now.

When life seems a bit too redundant sometimes you have to switch up the routine. While many choose minor changes to routines, others make major lifestyle changes. These changes may be changing diet, moving to a new place, or changing jobs. Everyone deals with stress very differently.

In the process of figuring out what lifestyle changes to make, a select few like myself are bitten by the travel bug. What better way to clear your mind, relax, and figure out the next steps in life than booking a flight to a foreign destination?
