These are words that I do not want to hear. Twice in the past month I’ve heard this now. Let’s rewind a bit. About a month ago, I took my first work trip for a project I’m currently working on. Both the origin and destination cities were deep in the throes of winter wonderland, with snow blowing through one city then the other. This makes traveling between the two a bit tricky and uncertain.

I don’t think I’ve ever had this problem before because I was usually not travelling from one winter city to another, especially not so close to each other. I used to want to travel for work, but this experience and possibly the fact that I was already almost past the hump of wanting to travel for work in general is definitely making me yearn for my own bed and not having to travel. I can’t say I’m discouraged from traveling for leisure though. Finally starting to look at what my traveling will be like for 2019 and I’m excited. I am definitely also excited to learn a new language for my travels this year. Maybe I’ll reconsider the amount of time I spend working so that I can spend more time learning this new language!
