Man this hits home. I read this 5 min before getting news that I have typhoid fever in India. It happens. It’s par for the course of traveling. And it won’t stop me from coming back here again or continuing my Asia and Europe travels. I’m excited for your big journey! Bring loads of meds with you and remedies with you!

I really hope you're ok - I read your Note - did you get vaccinated against typhoid? And yes, my medicine case is EXTRA large. Get well soon India and thanks so much for reading.

I did not! Noted to next time… or maybe this serves as my vaccine for the next few years 🤣

I am just travelling home from a few days of holiday and I relate to this so much! The holiday was nice, but I am one of a small number of people who lose weight on holiday haha, the food isn't right, I was on my own and am far too introverted to chat to strangers but also a bit lonely. It feels so hard to get the balance right!

I'm looking forward to hearing how your travel goes! You are right about life being an adventure, maybe one day I'll go on my own adventure!

Where did you go? I am EXACTLY the same - I tend to lose weight on holiday because I find food in different countries just tastes a little out. I also find it very difficult to talk to strangers too, but every time a chance interaction happens I end up feeling very fulfilled...Thank you for reading!

Oh my gosh I also have a very sensitive stomach and my husband has a stomach of steel.

Honestly, it's the WORSE. I get everything - all of the bites, all of the stomach issues, and my boyfriend never gets anything. I also haven't found anything yet that helps make me less prone to the stomach issues...
