Be a tour guide in your new city

Hello fellow wanders! I am writing this post after a long weekend with my bestie. My body is very tired from adventuring, but my soul is happy. There is nothing more healing than quality time with the people you love. It is rare to find when you move to a new city, especially before you have established your community. My love language is quality time which made this weekend even more special and needed. Treasure it when it comes! 

Ask a bestie to come visit when you’ve been settled for a month or so. Maybe just ask your mom. Really, anyone works. It helps to have someone excited to see your new city because it renews your motivation to explore. After a month of being by yourself, you can be tired of trying. A visitor gives you reason to put the effort back into adventuring. Play a horrible tour guide for them. They don’t expect you to know the streets or any of the good restaurants yet. Show the new places you have recently found and try out new things! Take that day trip out of the city you thought was too long of a drive. You have a temporary buddy for the weekend! Take advantage of it! Maybe you’ll convince them to quit their job and come travel with you! Who knows? Possibilities are endless and crazier things have happened. 

Fellow wandering souls, keep your head up. Good things will come your way :)
