The joys of traveling
Day 22 of 100
Hotels, aka the place I don’t have to make the bed every day. My job has opportunities to travel, and I enjoy traveling to places. I love staying at hotels, trying new food/drinks and trying to talk to others. I enjoy traveling to places because it also gives me breaks from my daily routine.
I don’t think I’m a lazy person, I procrastinate, but when I’m at a hotel my normal routine of cleaning goes out the window as I open that door. I can fall onto the bed and fall asleep instantly. Hotels normally have decent irons, so I will iron all of the clothes I brought. They are a great place for me to relax after working and after a night of eating/drinking.
When I travel I try to find food places that I don’t have back home. Since I’m out of my comfort zone, I try to take advantage that I need to eat, and look for places that are different. I will order new drinks, expanding my palette from just ciders and fru fru drinks to various others.
Traveling gives me the opportunity to meet new people. They can be in the elevator where you can meet some very interesting people. They could be out of country that are visiting as a vacation, and talk about all the delicious food, to the guy in the exercise room that makes good conversation while jogging on the tredmill. I have had many opportunities to talk to so many people that, they have helped me a bit with daily conversation skills that I use to think were pointless.
Traveling gives me time to break my daily routine. I get to stay in a comfortable hotel, and I get to sleep a little bit more, and sometimes easier. I get to eat a lot of great food from places I would have not had the chance to eat at. I’ve gotten to try a lot of local drinks, and expand some of my drink preferences. I get to meet a lot of people, who make for great conversation and have made it a little easier to be able to give that cute waitress or walk by a comment and see a great smile. Traveling is a lot of fun for me.
