The Truth About Traveling

I feel like so often travel is a glorified concept. Undeniably, it's my passion and I love my life of travel but there are definitely times when travel is hard. There are times, like right now, where we've been waiting around for the past eight hours and it's a blazing 90 degrees outside. There are times when I feel so alone and times when I miss my friends and my family more than anything. And then, there are times when the lack of peanut butter in this continent takes over my thoughts completely and I lie awake just thinking about Adam's crunchy peanut butter.
This is something I put together to honor all the moments of traveling (the good and the bad) and to encompass every aspect as a whole.
