Postcard #2: Salt Pools, Expectations, and Learning to Let Things Be Meh
Manage episode 487028958 series 3669299
What do burning lady bits, Instagram expectations, and a slightly delusional travel itinerary have in common? Apparently… me.
In this episode, I share the story of floating in a natural salt pool in Mexico—something that sounded like the perfect slow-travel dream but ended up being one of those “why am I doing this?” moments. We’ll talk about:
• The gap between travel expectations and reality
• Why some experiences are better in theory than in practice
• Performing for social media vs. actually being present
• Letting yourself be disappointed (and still grateful)
This is a salty, slightly uncomfortable postcard about letting go of the perfect aesthetic and embracing the awkward, itchy, real stuff instead.
This is Postcards I Never Sent. Thanks for floating through this one with me.
