In recent years I've been travelling a lot. These travels haven't been very adventurous, but interesting enough for me. As I'm into culture of different kind then it has been satisfactory. Most of the interesting travels have been thanks to European Union and Youth In Action but I will try my best to get out of Europe more often. My first and successful attempt was to the States in October-November 2012. I suppose I will post about it some day.
But here is the song that will always and forever remind me the awesome and liberating feeling of driving from Stansted airport towards London City. After my first flight in my life. My friend Jim had just told me before the flight that I should listen to music and memorize the feeling of getting off the ground. I sure did that. And this is how I got the virus of travelling. Of course I had been to Finland, Sweden, Russia and Latvia as they are all so close to Estonia, my dear and oh-so-young-and-sometimes-stupid homeland.
I started this blog because I released that I tend not to share my travel stories with people. Also my photos. It doesn't mean that I always get the time to actually blog about EVERYTHING but I still have nice stories to share. For example my recent layover in Frankfurt airport two days ago when I was looking for the free Lufthansa drinks and decided to land in one gate just to sit down because it was quieter. And then I saw one man looking for one quiet corner. He was kind of weirdly staring at one spot, doing something ( I wasn't looking all the time). Then he put one white paper on the ground close to one big advertisement which was behind the row of seats. He stood there a couple of minutes, obviously thinking, and then knelt down, laid his head on the white sheet of paper, then stood up again, praying. It was all clear to me then. He had calculated the direction. But it was also sad. That this was his way of life, his culture and yet he had in that moment no choice but to do it somewhere random. In a way it's also the romantic side of airports and traveling - meeting different people, everyone has their own reason to travel, their own things to do.
And here is the song for liberation:
