These Travel Moments Changed Me in Ways I Didn’t Expect
When I first caught the travel bug, I thought I was chasing landmarks, stamps in a passport, or maybe the thrill of new languages and unfamiliar street food. And sure—those were all part of it.

It came in the quiet, in-between moments—the awkward stumbles, unexpected connections, and soul-soaking silences that cracked me open in ways I never planned for.
