I love the way that Brene Brown talks about the importance of belonging. And while travel challenges that sense of belonging, it also helps us understand that we are part of something so much bigger than our small circles at home. This is a beautifully written piece.
That’s beautiful, Sarah. Admittedly I’ve not read her work, only familiar with it through mentions and quotes. It seems more and more, though, that I should add it to my reading list. Thanks for sharing, and for your kind comments 🙏
Wow, thank you, Tom. I’ve been trying to listen to my gut a bit more in writing, less informational article about a science concept and more narrative. It feels like a good path so far. 💜
There's something so 'other' about flying, isn't there? It's bonkers! I haven't been in a plane for years, actually - I wonder if I'll go anywhere once Covid is just a memory? I used to go all over the place, though. My dad's a retired pilot, and I remember asking him in awe, as a child: 'Daddy, have you ever flown through a cloud?' My mind was BLOWN when he told me that rainbows are round....! 🌈
Thanks, Rebecca 🥰 It’s such a strange experience! I haven’t been on a plane in 4 years, but hope when all this is more manageable I can cross the pond to Europe for some adventuring. And the QUESTIONS I would have bugged my dad with 😅 Where’s your favourite place that you’ve travelled to by plane?
Gosh, let's see! I think the best trip was to NYC to visit my uncle when I was little - we even flew Club Class, thanks to Dad's staff travel concession. And I remember the first time I hitchhiked with Dad driving - he flew us (and a planeful of passengers, obvs) to Toulouse in the south of France, where we stayed on board on the airport tarmac for 40 minutes before he flew us back. It was really fun sitting on the jump seat and watching everything that happened on the flight deck. I think I would have been about 12 or 13 at the time.
Lots to unpack here but very very good and thought provoking!
Thanks Mark! I’d love to hear more once the suitcase is unpacked.
Going to reply and post my own thoughts at H.A.T. tomorrow!

She's a must read 😊
This is your best yet--moving and personal. I feel like I went on a journey with you.

Wonderful post, Bryn.

That’s so cool!! I missed out on jump seat trips flying standby, as they stopped doing them when I worked for Air Canada :(
