I travel a lot. I love the road for many many reasons; I enjoy driving, I love seeing new towns, meeting new people, enjoying new food and restaurants, it's all wonderful.
Hands down, my favorite part of touring and traveling (besides the singing) is getting to reconnect and visit with friends.
I get to see my friends and family around the country pretty often- and I book tours through towns where they are. When they move- my tour shifts. It's pretty great.
I don't stay in hotels many nights because I usually stay with folks on the road- and though I love hotels, I rest so well when I stay with friends.
I have a theory on this.
I think I rest well in part, because we stay up late talking, laughing and sharing stories, so I go to bed feeling really happy.
And as cheesy as it sounds, the other part is, I go to bed feeling really safe.
I'm with my family, whether they're my actual or chosen family, and there's no safer place to be.
I am a lucky and happy girl.
Be safe, and enjoy your family this weekend, Kristen
