“Journeys are the midwives of thought“ says Alain de Botton in his book “The Art of travel”. A creative metaphor that journeys and thoughts are strongly connected. If you read last weeks post, you’ll know that most people find it extremely difficult to live in the moment. Learning to do this is a fine art that requires a lot of practice - think of meditation, for example. When you travel, only experiences such as arriving at the summit after an arduous hike, turning around and having the breathtaking view of a landscape in front of you, come close to this feeling. For a short moment, you don't think about the future or the past - just the very moment. This feeling is highly addictive and, looking back, perhaps one of the reasons why wanderlust grips us again and again.
