The daily lives of those who live in a place where I was the Visitor

Maybe this is odd, but whenever I see videos from another country I always end up paying attention to the grocery stores....


Forget the famous buildings. I want to know what kind of cereal they have, what people buy for dinner, and why the eggs are sitting on a shelf instead of in a refrigerator.


Anyone else more interested in the ordinary stuff?

Checking out their daily purchases and food choices tend to tell the story of the people most of the time, so its definitely a good way to check around about the people.

Has your travel style changed as youโ€™ve gotten older?

Iโ€™ve been thinking about this latelyโ€ฆ has anyone else found that the way they want to travel has changed as theyโ€™ve gotten older?


I used to want to fit as much as possible into every day. Now I think Iโ€™d rather stay somewhere longer, have a slow breakfast, walk around, and actually get to know the place.


Part of me wonders if Iโ€™ve just gotten less adventurous ๐Ÿ˜… Anyone else?

Not supposedly, when I started ageing too I started to take this a lot slower with less people. The vigor I had when I was young is a lot different than it is today.

Have you ever tried traveling virtually?


I recently stumbled upon this Tiktok video where someone's navigating through Google maps to "visit" the place.


I remember the first actual virtual tour that I joined is pretty much like that. The only difference is that someone is actually walking around and guiding me in the area as I watch from my living room.


Has anybody tried joining virtual tours before? How did you feel about it?

Am I ridiculous for going earlier than needed?

I was talking to my daughter yesterday about an upcoming trip and she thinks Iโ€™m ridiculous because I want to be at the airport 3 hours early ๐Ÿ˜‚


I know Iโ€™ll probably spend half that time sitting around with a coffee, but I just cannot relax at home knowing I have a flight later.


Please tell me Iโ€™m not the only one. How early do you actually get there?

No, not ridiculous at all.ย ย ย 


You'll never know how long the lines will be, and sometimes it just takes forever for TSA to finish checking both the people and baggage...ย ย ย 


One unlucky hurdle and you'd have missed your flight.ย ย
