a daylight dream

Initially, I was supposed to be writing this post back in September after our little London trip last August, which truly left an immense imprint in my soul. I must testify that I have so many travel posts on my mind which I haven't reflected upon yet, but will do so soon.   I'm writing this because we all have our dreams to experience life elsewhere. Not because we don't love our hometowns, but because this world is so beautiful and worth exploration and discovery. Limiting our experience to one place only limits our capacity to experience life-changing moments, out in different terrains. It all comes down to thinking big and believing you are worthy of seeing different places and even falling in love with one of them enough to call it the home of your heart. Dreaming of experiencing life elsewhere is but a way to make your life richer, more meaningful and worth living. Personally, a few years ago, I wouldn't have dreamed of living elsewhere. ...

Here is the s econd time I go to a dainty, quiet town and slowly fall in love. Last July, on a trip to the north-west coast of Poland, we happened to stay at a town near the border of Germany called Ahlbeck. Isn’t this such an inscrutable name? I hold so much respect for towns which are named so royally. So, literally speaking, we crossed the border as casually as taking a stroll by the beach. It was a beautiful experience, and that’s why I want to document all of those magical, mystical vibes in dearest Ahlbeck. So Ahlbeck lies on the coast of the Baltic sea, touching Polish grounds immeasurably. One moment you're there and a few steps later, you're in Swinoujcie. Around this moment of transition, there's a merge of German and Polish words in the air, so it's really difficult to know where you are. I love that, actually. So, when we decided to visit Ahlbeck, we walked along the coast to this spectacular view. What mesmerised me is how the German coasts might...

Hello friends! I hope you’re all okay and anticipating the summer vibes as they roll in. We have a heat wave over here so it’s important to stay safe and away from direct sunshine, but of course I don’t do that. I am obviously sunburned. Anyway, I thought I would flashback to last summer’s trips because I have been awful at those travel posts this year. The only one I wrote was when we went for a quick road trip to Sandomierz in Poland but I thought, why not document the others too?  Okay so basically, I used to be a very timid person who didn’t like travelling much but I have changed. Changed so much to tell my family that we ought to go on an independent road trip to Berlin, which was only 4 hours away from the seasides. After they found it a wonderful opportunity, I sat down for a few days planning the trip and even making my own map of all the beautiful things to see in Berlin. I was a little bit anxious because I didn’t know if it would work but the good news is, it...
