Travel is on my mind a lot these days, because, well... I'm travelling! I'm currently in Tokyo, and I spent last month going across Canada.
Travel is such an important part of my life, and it always has been (thanks Mom and Dad for taking me on trips all throughout my childhood!). And the older I get and the more I travel, the more it becomes a true necessity for me. I love the freedom and excitement that comes with seeing new places, and more importantly, the perspective and gratitude.
Being immersed in different cultures gives me perspective on my own - whether that's the Canadian culture I was raised in, or the Berlin culture I live in now. It helps me understand what really matters to me, and be grateful that I have access to it.
After Tokyo, I'm heading to Venice and Stockholm, before going home to Berlin for a few months of rest. In the summer I'll be heading to Iceland and Canada, and after that who knows!
