In 2025, I took 53 flights. I flew 59,087 miles and spent 6 days and 9 hours of my life in the air. That is a LOT. I really leaned into the fact that I was unemployed and said yes to as many trips, opportunities, and last-minute adventures as I could. And honestly, I loved being able to share this journey with you in real time. It was an incredible year full of unforgettable places and experiences, but it was also exhausting. Behind the scenes, there was a lot of uncertainty, stress, and figuring things out as I went. It might look like I had everything planned, but most of the time I was just doing my best and learning along the way. And I know so many of you can relate to that feeling. I still have not shared nearly enough about these trips, and I have so many tips, stories, and lessons I cannot wait to talk about. As we move into 2026, I am choosing more intention and more balance. I am settled down in Pittsburgh (for now), creating a routine I love, and focusing on building a life that feels just as good as it looks online. If you are heading into 2026 feeling tired, behind, or unsure of your next step, you are not alone. You do not need to have it all figured out to be moving forward. Thank you for being here, supporting me, and growing alongside me. If even one tip or video helped you plan a trip or take a leap, that means everything to me. Here is to a more grounded, intentional, and exciting 2026 🤍 #travelreality #slowtravel #newchapter #2026intentions #pittsburghinfluencer
