For a long time I’ve thought about sharing my travel memories but also thoughts and reflections about travel as a phenomenon and now the time has come. My hope is that it may lead to inspiration for those of you reading.

This very thing about traveling can mean different things to different people. For some, traveling may be mainly associated with practical things, such as in connection with work or visiting relatives. For some others, traveling is about a lifestyle that one strives for as much as possible. For most people, however, I think that traveling is mainly about getting away for a while, recharge the batteries, get new impressions and get a break from your everyday life. That’s how it is for me.

We humans are created with different likes and tastes in all areas of life and this is also the case when it comes to traveling. What we aim for with our travels differs from person to person. I have several times met people who year after year choose to return to a place, big or small, because there they can relax and enjoy themselves. It could be a certain campsite that has everything you need in terms of swimming, activities, restaurant selection, etc. or it could be a specific hotel on Gran Canaria with a fantastic pool area or a wonderful summer cottage on Gotland that the whole family longs to return to every year.

Then we have those who think that the absolute best thing is to travel to a completely new country or place. They love to constantly discover new things and get new impressions. Returning to the same place as before would rather create restlessness and boredom instead of rest and relaxation. For my part, I lie somewhere between these extremes but lean more towards the curious end of the scale. I simply think that there is so much on this earth to see and experience. So many places that you have heard or read about or perhaps seen pictures of or films from. At the same time, I can long to revisit some of the places that I have really appreciated.

Regardless of what preferences you have, there is a satisfaction and a happiness in traveling away but also a joy in being able to share your experiences and memories and that is precisely what I want to do in my newly started blog. Enjoy!
