Creator's Key Takeaways

I am so excited and I'm actually feeling pretty calm at the moment which is a little surprising because travel days are always really stressful

it definitely does not get easier leaving her behind it does not matter how much time I'm away whether it's a month or 10 months it's always so hard to say goodbye

I'm feeling very excited and definitely excited to get out of the cold um it's time it's time to move on to some warm weather

Creator's Tips & Advice

Weigh your bags multiple times to ensure they are under the airline's weight limit.
Arrive at the airport early to account for potential security delays.
