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

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

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Travel feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.
