We're wrapping up this deep-dive on travel with Part 4: making it meaningful, both while you're on the road and when you return. Because it's all well and good to plan adventures and get excited, but what about bonding? Loving the experience? Making memories? And coming home well?

Steph and I talk debriefing—landing the plane relationally and emotionally—as well as soaking in the moment while you're there. When you embrace not being able to do everything, it's easier to be fully in the moment. And this, after all, is what makes travel worth it.
