solo traveling is exhausting

[@caseyhazard5506]

Hi Madilyn! So refreshing to see someone speak on the heavier side of solo travel. I've been here myself. After living nomadically for 3 years I started to feel the exact same way- thinking about having a stable living situation, a routine, a semi-permanent community- you really start to realize the benefits of being still. I hope you are feeling more grounded with where you are now. Just know you aren't alone in these feelings! It's all a journey and you're doing a wonderful job of reflecting on everything. Things change and we outgrow our old ideas, glad to see you are being gentle with yourself in this transition! If you're not already on this train, housesitting has been a game changer for me. Sending warm thoughts your way

Loved this video Madilyn. What you said about not having a 'proper' home really resonated with me. I know that feeling all too well. And the part about saying goodbyes too. Go get yourself that dog and a space you want to decorate! You've earned it!

It isn't easy at all to live as a vagabond. I think you are a really brave person! I hope you sleep well and don't dwell on negative thoughts. You are still young as you said, and age doesn't matter in our lives! If you know, you know! Btw I like the Kebab talk. Eating kebabs at late night makes us honestly lol. p.s. my English is not good so I hope you understand what I said and please don’t misunderstand my words! I really want to cheer you up🫶

I love your videos! Im only at week 5 of my solo travel in south east asia but the past few days i just spent in a hotel watching reality tv as i feel too tired to do anything. Im going to move to melbourne in march, would be so cool if youre around at the same time!

thank you so much!! good luck on your SE asia trip :-) enjoy it, goes by fast but also happy you're finding balance and time to rest as well (we all know it's much needed). not sure where i'll be in march but we'll see x
