📍 Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean 
📵 Dis**connected. **

Here are two things I learnt onboard:

**☝🏼 People are places. **

On this 30-day cruise, I traveled to some of the most beautiful and alive places in the world. I had some of the most fun I have had in a long time.

Yet, one of my favourite moments was sitting next to my best friend at the lowest level of the ship; waiting for our washing.

The most beautiful journeys aren't just defined by where you go...
They're defined by who you share them with.

**✌🏼 Sometimes we have to disconnect, to connect. **

Not having connection stressed me out. At first. I tried to fight it — find a solution! But I soon realised there was nothing I could do.

So, I let myself be disconnected.

And in doing so, I became fully present. With my best friend. With my own thoughts. With the places I visited — their culture, their people.

There were moments I was so immersed I forgot I even owned a phone (like for real!).

Ironically, I’ve never felt so connected.

Sometimes we have to surrender to win.
Sometimes we have to distance ourselves to come closer.
