San Francisco | Watching planes take off and land is my healing moment. ✈️

I always feel that people can better record the scale of life by perceiving their emotions and experiences every day. The repetitive nature of everyday life makes time seem to pass by too quickly. Traveling is the fastest way to escape from daily life, and the airport is a place where emotions can easily be magnified. The airport is probably my favorite place in the world. Taking off is accompanied by anticipation, while landing brings a sense of peace. Meeting or seeing off someone at the airport also involves stronger emotions. Occasionally, when I see a plane fly by on the road, it brings me joy. When I'm feeling down, I find solace in going to the park alone and watching planes take off and land. It is a truly therapeutic experience for me. I strongly agree with the life advice shared by others to maintain consistency in traveling. As soon as one trip ends, I start planning the next one. Watching planes take off and land, I wonder where I will go next on my next adventure. πŸ›«οΈ πŸ“**Bayfront Park** 1-99 Old Bayshore Hwy, Millbrae, CA 94030 πŸ‘‹ In addition to Bay Front Park in the photos, there are two other parks where you can get a close view of planes flying overhead: πŸ“**Coyote Point Recreation Area** 🚘Vehicle Entry $6 (thanks to the comment section for the suggestion) 1701 Coyote Point Dr, San Mateo, CA 94401 πŸ“**Seal Point Park** 1901 J Hart Clinton Dr, San Mateo, CA 94401 #TravelJoy #AirportTherapy #SanFrancisco #BayArea #PlaneSpotting #HealingMoments #NatureAndPlanes #NextAdventure #Wanderlust #TravelGoals
