Solo travel standstill
Apparently, exactly one year ago today I was in Bratislava all by my little old self.
It’s just dawned on me that I haven’t actually been on a plane on my own since then.

Sometimes we don’t even notice when we go from one country to another. We take it for granted (which is ironic, given our fuckforsaken country’s situation right now – but let’s save that rant for another day, eh?!).
