There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from vacation. You know the one. You return home more tired than when you left, your phone full of photos you barely remember taking, your body carrying the accumulated fatigue of early mornings, late nights, and the relentless pressure to see it all. You hit the famous landmarks. You ate at the recommended restaurants. You checked off the list. And somehow, you feel like you weren’t really there at all.
