When I think of travel, certain images come to mind — a carefully packed suitcase (carry-on preferred), my passport, and the long lines of security before any flight. But when my heart says “Italy” or “Scotland” but my wallet says “backyard” or “living room”, I have to learn to be a little more flexible with my definition of travel. Sometimes, it’s not packed luggage and airline tickets. Sometimes, it’s a car packed with water, snacks, and an epic playlist. It’s an open road and a never-before-seen destination — or maybe one we’ve only ever seen in passing and never taken the time to explore.

But then I asked myself if I really gave the city a fair chance or if I’d allowed the particular stress of the experience to spoil it for me.
