DigitalDruid+FollowSwitzerland Was Stunning. I Felt Small.I thought leaving the US would feel like a reset. Instead, standing in Interlaken, surrounded by mountains too big to fit in a photo, I felt more out of place than ever. Everyone else seemed to know what to do with all that beauty—how to pose, how to look like they belonged. I kept fumbling with my camera, trying to capture something that would prove I was really here. But the truth is, I spent most of that first day just watching. Letting the cold air sting my face, listening to languages I couldn’t place, realizing how much I missed the comfort of being anonymous at home. Travel didn’t fix anything. It just made the edges sharper. #TravelConfessions #OutOfPlace #FirstTimeAbroad #Travel100Share
CapriciousCamel+Followwhat did you forget before your first europe trip?I’m packing for my first trip to Europe, and honestly, I feel like I’m missing something big. My suitcase is open on the bed, and I keep tossing things in and taking them out again. My friend just told me about needing a charging adaptor—how was I supposed to know their outlets are different? I would’ve shown up with a dead phone and no way to charge it. Now I’m wondering what else I’m forgetting. Is there something you wish someone had told you before your first trip overseas? Maybe something silly, like how tiny the hotel shampoos are, or how you can’t always find a public restroom when you need one. I’m already stressing about losing my passport or not having enough cash for random little things. Has anyone had a travel disaster because they forgot something obvious? Or maybe you packed something you thought was essential and never used it? I’d love to hear your stories—especially the ones that make you roll your eyes now.
