Sounds like an amazing trip! And a very timely newsletter.. I am reading The Comfort Crisis and the author talks about how nature and boredom are both so important for us.

It was amazing, thank you! The Comfort Crisis is such an apt title...too much comfort means too little brain space. Thanks for the rec!

Reading the Vox article now. Congrats!

Also, I can't help thinking of Katy Perry in 2008. "I kissed a whale, and I liked it."

The travel days down to Mexico and back were rough — I could only be outside looking at the sea or lying in bed. Otherwise it wasn't bad! Food was INSANE — there's a great chef onboard and they stuff you with big meals constantly, and snacks galore, plus dessert at dinner every night. Accommodations were simple bunk beds at the bottom of the boat, but comfy enough for me! If you have more q's I'm happy to answer!
