When you travel for a long time you learn how to travel—what you like, what’s your style. This knowledge comes from experience. There’s no other way. Six months ago I might not have been able to tell you what I wanted regarding accommodation, or how to best choose between 2 destinations, but I can now.

And there’s another of the great balancing acts in life. As we live longer to experience more, we learn, and we develop preference and routine. But we also must remain open. You never know when something new might come along, or something better.

Comfortability with maintaining that balance is what we call maturity.
