I could totally make this post about wanderlust or the perks of traveling. I could but I’m not. Traveling can be super stressful, take it from the gal that hitchhiked in Europe. My friend and I drove through some really rough conditions, the type of conditions that adds a lot of stress and screaming. But we didn’t blame each other or scream at each other saying we should have left earlier or we should have gone on the highway instead of the byway ( we calmly talked about it but accepted our situation) . No, we stayed relatively calm, reassured each other ( more Zoë telling me we are ok), and got through it.
