😂 Miles’s Social Moment
As Socrates didn’t say, “He who laughs, lasts.” So here’s a dash of travel humour to lighten your journey. Have you ever noticed that no matter how many times you double-check your hotel room before checkout, you’ll always leave behind a charger? It’s scientifically proven (okay, not really) that there’s a universal law governing the migrations of chargers and socks worldwide.
Your Move: Smile, because travel is the best charger for life’s batteries. Oh, and remember to pack your chargers.
😂 Miles’s Travel Reality Check
As we pack our snacks, map our routes, and sync our playlists for the journey ahead, let’s take a moment to appreciate the privilege of anticipation. Because as much as travel is about the places we go, it’s also about getting there. The sweet, sometimes stressful, thrill of preparation is a joy on its own.
“Travel isn’t just about destinations and checklists. It’s about the journey, the here and now. So let’s start the adventure before we even leave home.” — Miles
