What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?

I was newly separated, feeling a little lost, and decided I needed to do something that would make me feel strong and independent again.

So naturally, I did what any calm, rational person would do.

I hopped on my computer and booked a trip to Cuba… FOR THE NEXT DAY. 😂

Who does that?!

There was just one tiny problem. I had never travelled completely alone before, and I suffer from a very serious condition I like to call directional dysfunction. I can get lost going somewhere I’ve already been twelve times.

So there I was, heading off on my big independent adventure, nervous as heck but determined to prove to myself that I could do this.

And then I got lost in Toronto trying to get to the airport.

Of course I did. 😂

Somehow, I found my way, made the flight, landed in Cuba and spent an entire week on my own.

And you know what?

I had an absolute blast.

I met so many people, made new friends, laughed, explored, and discovered something about myself that I really needed to know at that point in my life:

I could do things alone.
I could figure things out.
And apparently, I could even eventually find an airport. 😂

That impulsive click on “Book” turned into one of the best things I could’ve done for myself.

Since then, travelling alone doesn’t scare me at all.

Getting from Point A to Point B, however?

Still questionable. 😂✈️🌴
