Well, I escaped another family trip. It was crazy, as always. My siblings tested my patience. We got lost a couple of times, and then there was that memorable incident at that tourist trap.

I'm drained, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. We have pictures to prove it.

Vacation Mode: Activated (Don't Talk to Me)

My phone is officially silenced/turned off/put away. Emails can hold on until I get back. Social media will just have humorous travel sweatshirts to do without me. If you need me, leave a message on my answering machine/in a bottle/with the voicemail fairies. Otherwise, consider this your official notification/warning/reminder: I'm out of office/gone fishin'/living my best life and will be back eventually.

There's No Comfort Like Escaping

Sometimes, the best/ideal/perfect escape isn't a place/location/spot at all. It's a state of mind/feeling/perception. My happy place/moment/time is anywhere but here, a whimsical/fantastical/imaginary realm where stress/tension/worry melts away/into oblivion/like ice cream on a hot day. I picture a bustling city street filled with laughter, where time stands still. It's not about reality/escaping from life/finding perfection, it's about creating a sanctuary/building an oasis/dreaming big and letting that vision/imagination/fantasy fuel my spirit/soul/inner self.

Warning: May Spontaneously Discuss Travel Plans

I'm a total travel addict, and sometimes my mind just wanders to amazing destinations. Therefore, be warned: you could find me suddenly discussing about my upcoming trips. I apologize in advance if it takes place during a serious conversation, but I just get so thrilled about travel!

This Can Be What Happens When You Allow a Traveler Order Lunch

When you hand the lunch order over to a traveler, things can get pretty wild. They've probably got some own take on what constitutes a good meal, and they won't be afraid to order something rather out of the box. You might end up with a plate that you've never even heard of before.

One thing is for sure, it's bound to be an adventure you won't forget!

• Have a backup plan if they decide to order something that is
