Solo travel content versus reality hits different.
The photos show main character energy.
Behind the scenes you're awkwardly asking couples for photos.
You eat dinner scrolling your phone.
But somehow its still the most rewarding thing ever.

Jet lag is a four-act tragedy that plays out the same way every time.
The first day adrenaline masks everything.
Then your body demands payment.
The 3am ceiling staring sessions begin.
Eventually you adjust and its time to fly home.

Packing is an emotional journey we all understand.
First you think you're a minimalist.
Then reality hits hard.
The shoe negotiation phase is brutal.
Eventually you accept defeat and check the bag.
Every single trip.

Your airport behavior reveals everything about you.
The early bird is stressed but prepared.
The speedrunner has places to be.
The coffee chaser will make it somehow.
The sleeper lives on faith.

You think you'll remember the landmarks.
You don't.
You remember the song.
Some random track playing in a cab at sunset.
You didn't know it.
You Shazamed it.
Now every time it plays you're immediately back in that city.
In that exact moment.
With that exact light.

My camera roll after any trip is unhinged and I know I'm not alone.
The sunset folder. 47 photos.
Same sunset.
Slightly different angles.
Couldn't pick one so I kept shooting.
None of them capture what it actually looked like.
I'll never delete them.
I'll also never look at them.
