Personal Travel Traditions I Always Carry With Me
And how these two simple rituals make my trips unforgettable
What makes a trip truly remarkable? For me, it’s not the famous landmarks or the fancy restaurants — It’s the personal rituals and traditions that bring each journey to life.
Every time I go on vacation, I have two traditions I can’t help but continue. It’s nothing extravagant or glamorous, but it’s something that makes my trips truly memorable. No matter where I go, I always make sure to add these two special things to my travel checklist. They’re my secret ingredients for a fun and meaningful adventure.
So, what are these traditions, and what stories do they tell? Let me share!
I choose an anthem for the trip
I feel deeply connected to music in a way I can’t fully describe. I’ve been singing since I was 8 years old and playing the piano since I was 9, and I just love how music is part of every fiber of my being. It allows me to forget the real world I’m living in and escape to a new one full of dreams, joy and possibilities.
