Escapism, globalism and other isms
There is a reason people go on vacations, away from the city, away from everyone, diving into a new place, new faces, new habits, new schedules, and different lifestyles. OK, those are the reasons why I go on vacations. I love being surrounded by nature, waking up to birds chirping and water flowing, surrounded by trees and plants. I just enjoy a simpler life, stress-free life, a life without big worries that put so much weight on my shoulder. What I enjoy is the false sense of freedom, the freedom to set new rules, leaving all the worries behind and genuinely being in the present, savouring every moment, not worrying about the life that I left behind. While travelling I really tried to understand, why is it so desirable for me. I like to explore new things and experience the local culture but all of that fades. It's too temporary, too short-lived and then it almost seems like it did not happen. I guess just physically removing myself from my everyday life adds a layer of diversity...
