I finally understand why Travel people care about culture from my winter notes
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. trips got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
The detail that surprised me was how much a tiny balcony changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy
