The joy of traveling
I travelled a fair bit as a younger man, but recently I was finding the joy of travelling much more elusive.
In addition to the familiar frustrations of getting through an airport and squeezing into a modern airline seat, there were new concerns about travel delays, having the proper vaccinations, getting tests done at the last minute, and more. It was enough to make you think twice about travelling at all!
So I had to ask myself: is it possible to rediscover the joy of travelling?
The answer was a resounding YES. In this new section of Atlantic Destinations I’ll share what I and others are learning about modern travel and how to smooth out that vacation turbulence to enjoy your entire holiday.
