I have to make the distinction between travel and vacation. Vacation often includes travel, but vacation is defined as “an extended period of recreation.” Travel simply means to make a journey. I wouldn't describe this trip as an extended period of recreation, but it was certainly a journey.
They key was that it wasn't easy - it was work. With every photography contract, I feel the pressure to live up to the expectations of the clients. It's hard to find the motivation to go to the gym every morning. It's downright intimidating to shoot for a professional mountain bike racer. None of it was easy.
Writing a blog isn't easy. Going out to capture images or video is difficult. Editing is time consuming. Learning new techniques and experimenting with them until you're proficient is hard work. None of this is easy.
If this was easy, everyone would be successful. You're talent isn't enough, success requires effort.
