Celebrating somewhere different hits differently đâ¨
As we move into the next stretch of the year â with holidays, long weekends, and âmarker momentsâ coming up â Iâve been thinking about how celebrations feel when theyâre not at home.
Not the usual routine. Not the same table, same people, same traditions.
Travel has a way of gently shaking up what we consider normal:
- How other places mark holidays
- What they gather around
- What feels meaningful to them
- The small cultural details youâd never notice otherwise
Sometimes it feels strange at first. Sometimes it feels unexpectedly freeing. And sometimes it becomes one of those memories that sticks with you longer than the holiday itself.
So Iâm curious â and thereâs no right or impressive answer here:
đ Have you ever celebrated a holiday, milestone, or special occasion while traveling? It could be:
- a holiday
- a birthday
- New Year
- an anniversary
- or just a meaningful moment that happened away from home
Where were you? And did it feel different in a good way⌠or just different?
(And if you havenât yet â is there a kind of celebration youâd want to experience somewhere else someday?)
