Depends where you're headed. My bag looks a lot different for the Netherlands for a work trip, Italy for vacation or the Caribbean for vacation.

I don't have a driving licence or a car, cause I have a health condition growing up and driving is not ideal for me.

I live in a city where the subway is accessible to clients, so it hasn't been an issue so far and sometimes I can Uber. And of course due to COVID, it's all remote now. I understand directors/partners usually travel much more and would worry!

Solid tips or strategies on cutting back on alcohol? My bf & I were moderate drinkers before the pandemic, but over the year I’m fairly confident we’ve become heavy drinkers (6-7days/wk). I’m stressed about it and have mentioned cutting back for a while, but he insists we’re fine. I find it rly difficult to go cold turkey or cut by myself when he’s still drinking as “normal” and we share our living space. We’re aware of all the health risks, but that alone hasn’t changed us. All advice welcome!

Does anyone feel like they don’t want to go back to normal? On the one hand, absolutely I want to. I miss seeing friends, dressing up, going out, and traveling for work. On the other hand I have saved so much money over the past year, spent a lot more time with family than I would have ever been able to, and actually rested and been able to focus on my wellness (started therapy and treatment for a chronic condition.)
