The View Was Perfect. I Wasn’t Sure Why I Felt Empty.

Stalheim is the kind of place that makes you want to believe in postcards. Last summer, I pulled over, stepped out, and the valley just opened up—green, impossible, and silent except for the wind. Everyone else took photos. I just stood there, weirdly numb, like I was watching someone else’s highlight reel. I thought I’d feel something big. Instead, I kept thinking about how far I’d driven, how much I wanted the moment to mean something. Maybe that’s the thing about chasing landscapes: sometimes you arrive, and the only thing waiting is yourself. #Travel #TravelConfessions #PostcardMoments

When the View Isn't Enough

The hotel room in Lucerne had everything Instagram promised. Lake view. Alpine backdrop. Golden hour light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. I stood there for twenty minutes, waiting to feel something. Anything. The mountains were perfect. The water was glass. Other travelers were probably posting this exact view with captions about gratitude and wanderlust. But I just felt... empty. Like I was watching someone else's life through expensive glass. Travel sells you the idea that the right view will unlock something inside you. That beauty equals healing. That distance from home means distance from your problems. Sometimes it does. Sometimes you're just carrying the same weight in a prettier room. Lucerne was stunning. I wasn't broken. But I wasn't fixed either. #Travel #TravelReality #PostcardMoments
