I care about traveling every summer. I have been numerous places, but my favorite places were the tropical ones. I spent a lot of time in the daylight & by the sea. I was at the beach nearly my entire stay during these trips. I care about the summer, but summer time in these tropical places bring much more extreme heat than summer time back home. It was always twenty degrees hotter than summer time back home. I struggled to adjust to it at first. I spent a lot of time indoors initially because I had a/c in my hotel room. I would attempt going outside & enjoying the summertime in a new country, but I would run back to my room after awhile & blast the a/c unit. The a/c component was the only thing that made me feel better. After spending three days holed up in my hotel room, I decided that enough was enough. I either needed to difficult it out & care about my trip or I needed to return home. I decided to stay & force myself to deal with the weather. It wasn’t straight-forward; I was drinking water all day & wearing the loosest & lightest clothing possible to help with the heat. I absolutely still felt the heat & was regularly covered in sweat, but at night, my saving grace was my a/c unit. It made all the difference. After coming back dwelling & reflecting on my trip, I’ve realized that it was absolutely worth the discomfort from the heat. I explored so numerous things & met so numerous people; it was the trip of a lifetime!
