An Introduction

“All my life I have lived and behaved very much like the sandpiper just running down the edges of different countries and continents, looking for something.”
― Elizabeth Bishop

Hello everybody. Welcome to my blog.
What I'm going to write about is technically travelling. But it will not just be about describing or informing you about the places I've been to. My blog will be about the feelings it gives me, the hopes it surrounds me with; what I've observed, what I've felt during those periods of time. You will be feeling, observing, smelling and seeing the world through me, through my perspective.
I won't be writing you about big famous cities and places where everybody has an idea about. I will be writing you about the unknown corners of the world, where it is not commonly traveled to. The moments like, for example, when on a train passing by endless forests in the northern Germany going up to the Ostsee and the Danish borders; when you hold on to the open window, feeling the wind that's patting your head gently, smelling the fresh grass, all you think is 'what am I doing in this heavenly place, and how have I got here in the first place?'.

Like what Herman Melville said "It's not down in any map; true places never are".

The world is out there. We are in a life, in a system, more sophisticated than we can ever imagine. Yet, we are blinded by temporary pleasures, chasing shallow accomplishements and drowned by trivial problems. Personally, I have never fallen for the idea that we are here to get lost in the trivials of society. I know there's more to it than that. Life is not meant to be spent solely with that. And for now, all I know is that I have this one life, and that I want to see as much as possible, feel as much as possible and meet as many souls as I can. Because I know that it's the only real way that I can figure out myself and the life I'm living in.

You know we have only one chance, right? Don't throw it away.
