One conversation with a hostel owner in Medellin flipped my whole setup

I was complaining about slow WiFi at a cafe and she said, 'you're not renting a desk, you're renting a lifestyle.' That hit me because I had been chasing faster internet and cheaper coliving spots for 8 months, but I never actually asked myself if I wanted to stay anywhere longer than 3 weeks. Since then I've booked one base for 2 months, and I'm curious if anyone else has tried slowing down when the urge to keep moving gets loud.

Read a study once that said people get happier the longer they stay in one place.
