I feel like I’m actually a homebody about 95% of the time, but when I go on adventures I tend to go big when I can!

I think I’m a bit of the opposite. No “big travel” as a kid. Then I’d visit friends where they were. And now I just love to visit new places, although I’d absolutely happy to do that with friends if interests/availability ever aligned. (I don’t have many friends outside of the south now, though!)

Did you see the botanical gardens of Padua when in Italy? That’s the beginning of all botanical gardens and a UNESCO world heritage site, right in the middle of loads of archaeology-centric locations! But I suppose my Cambodia/Singapore idea would also cover those topics, too. I bet much of the tropics would be amazing for planty interests?

Not sure exactly what to do with that feeling. I may be becoming a homebody!

On the whole, though, I’m in a phase where either plant-centric or archaeology-centric places appeal to me, and I seem to be most of all interested in travel that contains a “visit”. If I know someone who lives in a place, and they’re amenable to helping me experience the place through a bit of their lens, I’m most intrigued! .
