Travel is food for the soul. People love to see and enjoy beautiful things and places. For many, it is enough to go to places they have already visited or to take a short break somewhere in the vicinity. This provides a respite from current preoccupations and gives strength to move on. It is much more valuable to spend money on travel than on some material things. T-shirt, bag, you get bored very quickly, and the memories from the trip remain forever. Going to any place brings us a handful of new information, new knowledge, meeting new people, customs, cultures, languages. You are able to see places that you thought did not exist, learn something about their history. Each trip is a new experience by which we break established habits. By overcoming them, we become stronger, more resourceful and more satisfied with ourselves.
The situation with Covid ruined our plans for all of us, but if we are alive and healthy, we will easily follow. Certainly, at least, and maybe most of me, I will live in some mild fear, and after this is over, ... there will be sporadic cases, but I don't think it's worth the risk before July or August. Vaccines against the Covid pandemic have also arrived, so I hope to continue to visit wonderful places.
All my friends know that I love traveling. It doesn't have to be an expensive destination, it can be a nearby village where there is beautiful nature, clean air, good home-made food. Where you enjoy the chirping of birds, the chirping of the river ... the greenery, the wildflowers.
From each trip, I bring a souvenir, a magnet, which is a symbol of that city. Until some better times come, I will look at my magnets and evoke memories.
I love this wall full of memories, it's just great!
And I also like this idea of starting over. Until things are fixed, you can continue making your trips around here.
