Philosophical monologue on solo travel from @j.g.fall

The creator presents a philosophical monologue about the emotional cycle of solo travel, contrasting the abundance of content on *how* to travel with the lack of discussion on *how* to leave a place you love. He walks through the stages of arrival—anticipation, overstimulation, and finally settling into a routine—only to face the dilemma of leaving just as it starts to feel like home. He concludes that the key is to leave while you still love a place, framing this bittersweet experience as the core purpose and challenge of traveling.

Solo traveling means having faith that even if you don't know where you're going, what's coming next, what you're doing, it's all gonna work out, but that's the dilemma about leaving. If you leave too soon, it feels incomplete. Best if you stay too long, you risk getting used to it and forgetting what made it magic in the first place. What I've learned is this.
