We all have our beloved rituals, the things we do that center us, that comfort us, that make us feel that all is right with the world. It can be anything from the way we prepare and enjoy our favorite morning beverage, to walking our dog the same route every day, to watching a favorite show before bed.

But what happens when we get so attached to these rituals that we can't do without them? Does this rigidity and inflexibiltiy not limit us? Is comfort overrated?

To travel is, almost by definition, to get out of one's comfort zone. So perhaps we should aim to leave those comfortable rituals at home when we travel, and instead seek out new ways to do things. We might just discover something new to love.
