I'm Finally Passport Ready!

I finally got my passport for the first time in my life, and it feels weirdly exciting in a way I didn’t expect. It’s one of those things I kept meaning to do for years but never really prioritized because life gets busy and suddenly a decade passes and you realize you still haven’t done something that seemed simple.

For a long time I’ve had clients casually bring up flying me out or mention trips or ask if I ever travel internationally and I always had to give the same answer. Not yet, not because I didn’t want to, but because I just never had a passport ready to go.

And I always thought it sounded fun. The idea of going somewhere for a few days that's unfamiliar, meeting in another city, spending time together outside of normal routine, having that feeling of stepping into something that feels exciting and new to me.

I think fly-me-out arrangements have always felt more exciting to me than people probably realize because they feel deliberate and require effort. The sessions I've had where I've been flown out are the most unforgettable to me, and always end up being such an enriching experience. Someone deciding they want time with you enough to make an actual trip happen says something.

But yeah, now I can actually say yes.

There’s something nice about knowing if the right invitation came along I wouldn’t have to hesitate or explain or say maybe another time. Now I can just pack a bag and go.

I like the idea of a change of scenery that makes me feel a little more charged and less predictable at the same time.

I savor real experiences and real chemistry. Things that actually happen somewhere physical instead of staying trapped behind a screen.

For years international travel was something that sounded nice in theory but wasn’t realistic for me, now it feels possible and kind of overdue.

So yes, I’m officially passport ready now and I’m quietly looking forward to seeing where that leads.

If you’ve ever thought about booking time together somewhere outside my local area, that conversation is a lot easier to have now.
