🏍 What are your true desires?
Two close friends of mine recently traveled to New Orleans for their honeymoon.
They didn’t dance at clubs or explore bars-both of them don’t even drink. Besides listening to some jazz, they didn’t do any of the traditional things you might expect when people visit New Orleans.
“How did you spend the rest of the week!?”
They told me they visited eight museums and did two escape rooms.
Let me repeat: They flew across the coast to celebrate their marriage by going to local museums and playing escape rooms.
I told them that this was the best thing I’d heard all year.
As I prep for my trip to Mexico next week, I researched dozens of things I could potentially do: visit the ruins, admire the architecture, relax on the beach, eat all the different kinds of food, and more.
These items feel like things I “should” do just because I’m in Mexico. But what do I actually want to do?
If I was being truly honest with myself, I want to:
- meet new people (expats and locals)
- spend time with two friends who are joining me for part of my trip
- enroll in a language school and learn more Spanish
