On Travellers and Dreamers

How many ways are there to travel?

We now are a part of a world which is more connected than ever… Far away countries and landscapes we have never been to, are just a click away. People that follow aegeanpan, often tell us that reading us creates a longing for discovery or a sense of an imminent departure.

We all seek for little escapes every day; we all try to steal some time to daydream with our eyes closed, to read our favorite book again, to fall in love, to listen to a song  we love, or cook an exotic recipe… All of these things help us discover something new about ourselves, explore our originality and inspire us to become who we really are.

What is it that makes us want to travel? Even if this reason is to go to somewhere new, or just get away from somewhere, the thrill of new discoveries is a common ground that unites us. Contemporary travelers are all destined to make a journey to a place which will awaken their true selves.

Living by the sea, makes me think of travelling everyday. I feel that by moving to live on an island, constantly fills me up a sense of anticipation for new things to see and learn.
