Wonderful piece. I'm an anxious traveler when going somewhere new, but I always feel fulfilled during and after traveling. I need to get better at looking forward to the experience :)

Wow Ruhie. This is so beautiful! I love the mix of letter writing to your dad but doing it in a way where I am right there with you in all of the trips. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to reading more of your newsletters and eventually, your memoir! :D

Thank you Erman! I think a lot of people can relate to how you feel. I’m definitely someone who loves to stay in my comfort zone, but every time I travel it’s a reminder of how beautiful the world is and the rewards of experiencing new places and things!
