Where have I been? 2022 Recap
Hi. It’s been a while since I wrote anything on here.
To be super honest, when I came back from Costa Rica, my life was not at all what I had pictured when thinking about returning from this trip.
I had the greatest moments of my life on my Costa Rica trip. I was vibrant, full of joy, completely free. 10/10 happy. And when I got back, I fully intended on bringing those good vibes into my life in Vancouver.
That’s not at all what happened. I experienced post travel depression pretty heavily. I experienced culture shock coming back home which I didn’t expect since I had only been away for 6 ish weeks. That was really weird.
I experienced just complete discomfort and lack of alignment coming back to my life here in Vancouver. And it was really hard.
I allowed myself some time to adjust, and worked on making myself happy again. I was now chasing that feeling I had living in Costa Rica, care free, doing things I loved every day, being in the sun, meeting amazing people, creating life long memories, and truly living my best life.
It was much harder to recreate that experience at home. I was left feeling empty and disappointed. But, I continued to chase the feeling.
I strongly believe everything happens for a reason. I choose to make things in my life have meaning, anyway… and this was all just a part of my greater path. Looking back, I can see why this all happened the way it did. I learnt a lot about myself during this time, and I’m grateful for it.
After adjusting to coming back home, getting back to work for a while, and saving up some money again, I took a month off in May for more adventures.
I went back to Costa Rica just for a week with a group of friends.
I attended EDC Las Vegas. That was totally wild and an experience of a lifetime.
I spent the summer working lots with a quick trip to LA thrown in,
And then I started planning my next trip: Bali for September/October.
I started saving money again.
I spent 5 weeks in Bali which I’ll definitely talk more about in another post.
I came home, worked some more, and then spent Christmas and new years in Mexico with some friends. Great time. Too much Tequila.
Since January, a lot has happened.
I had to get my wisdom teeth out, I went to Toronto for a real estate conference (random, I know), decided I want to get more active on onlyfans again, and I even tried dating again!
(That was a total fail and also a story for another day)
Other that that, I’ve just been working, trying to keep my spirits high through these rainy months, and, oh yes of course – planning my next trip.
May 15- Japan
May 19- Thailand
May 31- Europe
Until the end of June. (For now)
I know it seems a bit crazy, but did you really expect anything less than a world tour? And yes, I have a one way ticket to Europe. We’ll see what happens.
It’s currently the end of April and honestly this has been a really hard month. And I want to talk more about that soon, but for now, we’ll leave it at this…
A very short and sweet summary of what I’ve been up to the last year and a bit.
It seems like so much more time has gone by than just over a year. Probably because so much has happened and I’ve experienced so much.
I fully intend on getting back to sharing on here more often, going into depth about some of these adventures, and sharing all of the ones to come very soon.
It’s been quite a year of ups and downs.
I’m doing much better now, I have to much to look forward to and to be grateful for. The trip countdown is on.
And I can’t wait for whats to come.
Thanks for sticking around <3
Bailey
