    If you do enough walking around at a summer festival or a village fair, such as 35 or 45 minutes, you could count it as a walking workout.

    Hi, I'm also an introvert. But I'm a lot older and have learned that as much fun as traveling and new experiences can be, it is home where I calm myself and truly re-energize. So nothing is wrong, 👍 just enjoy yourself for now, knowing you can re-energize later. Take care.

    This comment won't be so much about content because I'm not familiar with your channel as it came up as a suggested watch. But I plan to watch more. You sound like a super intelligent guy and coming from across the pond I love your accent so I am just somewhat mesmerized by just listening-so calming and melodic. But to what others have said here, I agree. Life is constantly changing with many unforeseen paths and obstacles. It's normal. We adapt in many different ways and sometimes that adaptation takes us to places we never imagined or could have entertained. Just keep being you and you will always be in the right place. Take care man.

    It's ok to give up frantic traveling to settle down into a slower, more comfortable routine that allows you to pause and build deeper relationships with the people you already call good friends. That is a totally pleasant, reasonable goal.

    I've never been to the UK, so I don't know where all the places you mentioned that you were traveling to and from so I looked on a map. That's a lot of traveling! I can imagine you hit traffic as well and it wasn't constant fast moving. I hate traffic and long drives. That's why I started listening to books while I'm in the car because it's a nice distraction. Looking forward to seeing the travel channel getting some new content. I know I will never get the chance to go to Europe so when you two or either of you on your own channels post footage from your travels I really enjoy seeing it all. It's so pretty there and my favorites are the old villages and cobblestone roads. I've seen them in a few older cities that kept them in Massachusetts but that's it.
