ollibabaTravel tip: if you're abroad and need some quiet time, go to a public library!
On a recent trip I was overwhelmed with traveling stress, noise, people, traffic around me; then remembered how nice the libraries at home were. And they were the same in this foreign city! Quiet; welcoming; people working silently; comfy seats; free wifi.
It was a great way to calm down and recharge. Thank you, librarians (and tax payers), for maintaining these places all over the world.
