…”I was already feeling the familiar thrill of of beginning a journey, the sense of relief that always fills me when I know that I can not be reached, that I am not booked or expected anywhere, that I have no commitment except those created by chance. How wonderful is it to mix with a crowd as an ordinary traveler, free from one’s own role, from one self’s image, which at times can be a cage as tight as that of the body; to be sure you won’t meet anyone with whom you have to make conversation, and to feel free to send to the devil the first person who tries to start one“.

Oh. Wow. Thank you for the mention, Estelea. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
These lines made me a bit dreamy:

😉 My pleasure! I would have loved to write those words. But what really matters is that I have felt them, eventually 😉 A long time ago, when the word WiFi was not even invented (I know.. I know …:P)
Yeah! Glad you have felt that! I can imagine it is blissful and peaceful. 😀
No peer pressure to post anything on IG or FB (and now I know I look like a prehistoric specimen !)
No! I completely understand. Those were the days that you ‘are’ in the moment. Not your devices.
Your comments are totally spot on ! 🙂
Oh thank you! 😘
And the lines you are mentioning are so incredibly well written. No mask required, you are a nobody again, and this is the ultimate freedom!
Wonderful!
I could totally relate to his words.. loooong time ago though 😉 I would freak out not be reachable for days when traveling with the kids ..
Wonderful image and I love the passage you’ve chosen. Sums up a basic element of traveling. Terrific, Estelea.
Heartfelt thanks, I am so happy you liked it too 🙂 Happy Sunday!
