I finally understand why Travel people care about trips with an useful constraint

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where trips stopped feeling new.

I started this because my rainy evening felt a little stuck, and culture seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

I tried this in Lisbon with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

The detail that surprised me was how much a family dinner changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
