Love this! Your discussion on if it was “worth it” reminds me of my trip to Alaska, to similar remote places. Totally worth it

Wow sounds magical. Reminds me of snorkeling in La Paz. The sea lions were playing around with us! Looks so beautiful 🤩

Seems a wonderful place and interesting reflections, too!

As someone who's been regularly taking intercontinental flights for a "long weekend" somewhere exotic, I've been often wondering what makes an experience "worth it" or not.

I did the same constantly for long weekend trips to other countries when I studied abroad in Europe and Southeast Asia during college! To me at that time, seeing a glimpse of another culture was always worth it to take my understanding of a country from 0 to at least something. How do you think about what makes your trips worth it or not?

You have the best mindset with how you value an experiences worth. I completely agree, it’s a very personal matter.

And with that! Iceland and Morocco were both life changing experiences for me. Can’t wait to read about your travels to both!
