On the road

[raino]

Since yesterday morning I’ve taken train, ferry and am now sitting in a bus, somewhere in Skåne area, Sweden. Top deck, front seat with view. Had a breakfast while golden fields, fluffy clouds and cute little towns rolled past. Managed to sleep reasonably well (secret weapon: woollen socks).

I just enjoy traveling so much. Even if a bit cramped, shower overdue, and not completely rested, I feel energized and excited. Coffee tastes better, sunshine is more golden, life in general feels fuller.

Do i have to admit my flight strike is fueled not only by environmental concern but also the desire to just be in transit longer?!

There's nothing to "admit"--you're on vacation, you can do it the way you like, even if that's not what most people expect you to like. It can be interesting telling people that I would rather take a train than a cab, I'm not just trying to save money.

Not admitting to like an ethics committee but just to myself - I do try to be mindful of my own motivations to the extent that is possible... but really, this way of traveling has many advantages, not the least aesthetic: greetings from a cute little 2-coach train going between tiny villages and green fields dotted with grazing sheep.
