This is beautiful, and such a refreshing departure from the nonstop advice on my feed for how to always look and feel amazing while travelling. It's so self-defeating trying to be *the same* or perfectly aesthetic when you're in different places - it can steal the magic right out of an experience. I've been to 25+ countries and have tried all the hacks; the one constant is how totally wrecked I look at some point or another during a trip (from any/all the things you mentioned: diet, exhaustion, illness, sunburn, stress, grief). The key is not to show up perfectly, but to show up and be present, and to love all the versions of yourself. This piece spoke to my soul, thank you for sharing 💗
Love this! There's so much pressure to always look 'perfect' and put together to meet other people's expectations of what a vacation should be and look like.

This was such a sweet comment, thank you Jules! Presence is definitely the most important thing, always.
