COUCH
I love to travel, sometimes far away, like this summer to Tanzania. Discovering new countries, cultures, and people energizes me. But wherever I am, I soon miss my couch at home to just read a book.
The day I come home, that’s the first thing I do. I settle into my couch, grab my book, and read for hours until I feel satisfied. What a relief! And my dirty laundry? It can wait ;-).
Want to know which book I’m reading? ‘Women Who Run With the Wolves’ by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, a must-read for every woman in us.
What do you miss most when you’re traveling? And do you immediately unpack your dirty laundry?
