Still at the airport … boarding soon though. Much of the world outside of the U.S. operates at a slower pace. In my estimation, it’s a good thing. Time to reflect and think and exist.
It’s so important to slow down and re-group, give your mind permission to wander, and put aside the “to do” list. I’m anxious to get on my plane. Why? I’m regrettably wired this way and it’s been reinforced by US culture.
Traveling to a different culture requires patience, with others and with yourself. There’s a learning curve and most people travel to enjoy another culture. Take time, have patience, and enjoy it.
