"I'm never one to say no to travel, whether it's for work, to visit a friend, or just because. In the first half of last year alone, I flew from New York to Palm Springs with friends, planned a London trip around a play I wanted to see, and saw Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles. One of my friends was trying to sell me on one more big vacation - Scotland, maybe, or Paris - that we could take together"
"Logistically, it was a quick, 90-minute flight from New York, making it an easy choice for a weekend trip. Less time in the air meant we could make the most of just a handful of days on the ground. I was also able to buy my airfare with credit-card points, which helped keep my out-of-pocket costs low. Practicalities aside, I knew that Montreal, with its cobblestone streets in the Old Port, cozy cafés, and official language (French), would feel like a true "trip""
After a layoff, a long international trip felt unaffordable, but a short, affordable weekend to Montreal remained possible. A 90-minute flight from New York and using credit-card points reduced costs and maximized time on the ground. Cobblestone streets, cozy cafés, and French-language culture provided an immersive sense of travel without high expense. The trip required minimal planning and allowed for relaxation, recharging, and focusing on joyful activities. Choosing a nearby destination made travel emotionally and financially feasible during a job transition. The experience restored energy and clarified priorities while preserving resources.
