A new entry on my @medium blog, and A question I want to ask everyone: will you travel solo even though you’re in a relationship?

Despite the throng of tourists, I thoroughly enjoyed Paris.

Paris is one of those European cities that lived up to the hype.

Perhaps because two of my favorite humans in the world were there. I barely explored the city on my own, rather I saw Paris from the eyes of my good friends, one from Cebu (Philippines) and one from Romania whom I met in Hanoi and who moved to Paris in his teenage life.

More than the sights and the culture, I was more than happy to cap my travels this year in the company of dear friends who put different perspectives in my current dilemma: to couple or to single. 😅 #paris #france #travelgram #solotrip

2022 in 8 Travel Photos

For more travel recap and photos: https://medium.com/@jonabranzuelabering/2022-in-travels-ee45970cf604

I lamented a lot about this lifestyle change — from my seemingly comfortable stiletto kind of life in Hanoi (Vietnam) to sneakers kind of life in Munich (Germany).

I complained to Ambros I did not do much this year. But the photos on my phone said otherwise.

I traveled solo, and we traveled together. And in total, I have seen bits and pieces of 8 European countries: Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, France, the Netherlands, and Spain.

So what I learned in 2022: Document your life, and on days you are down and question your growth, look at those memories forever etched in photos, videos, words, and memories.

They are solid evidence that indeed you’re growing, indeed you’re doing something. It is easy to lose sight of our growth when the imposter syndrome meets seasonal affective disorder meets anxiety meets new country.

So document away.

And to the people who made 2022 bearable and memorable, thank you. To more memory-making in 2023!

Here is a little wrap of my new life trips on this new continent.

The importance of documenting your life in whatever way you are comfortable. I complained to Ambros I did not do much this year. But the photos in my phone said otherwise.

Happy holidays to those celebrating.

It is a family tradition for many here in Germany. My partner’s family Christmas tradition involves Advent calendar and wreath, walking around the neighborhood after the starter, traditional Christmas tree with real beewax candles, (which I have never seen before) and watching the candles slowly burn into the night.

In this life, I just really want a small house not too far from the sea, a huge garden, a huge library ☑️, and 5 cats☑️.

I’ve been tempted to pack up several times, and leave a note to my partner, saying, I love you. I’m sorry I can’t do this. Please I will come back for the cats and the books.
And please do not entertain the idea that maybe he is not the one because that is beside the point. The point is, my beautiful single life is THE ONE. The one that got away.
It is valid to grieve your past life.

2022 is about to end. I felt that I did not grow as much as I wanted to. This year, personally, is terrifying. It has dawned on me, that I’m not playing house with Ambros, we are really settling down.

We. From I to We. From mine to our. I still have to get used to the shift of these pronouns. I know it seems like I’m ungrateful of this beautiful relationship, of this so-called beautiful life in a developed country.

But the thing is, and I have been saying this countless of times, when you love your single life a lot, when you don’t equate your worth, your completeness with having a partner, it is so hard to give it up, to let it go.
