There’s something so exciting and anticipatory about traveling. There’s also so much about traveling that’s annoying (giant crowds, people who don’t understand Transportation Security Authority (TSA) lines, small airplanes and dirty airports), but I secretly love it. My partner and I pride ourselves on being airport professionals: packing light and slipping our shoes on and off in seconds. There’s something beautiful about being in transit, between the comfort of home and a new destination.
