YonderYeti+FollowWhen Home Is the Only DestinationI didn’t plan to stay in Norway this year. The idea of flying somewhere new was supposed to mean escape, or at least a break from the version of myself that feels stuck. But I ended up in Romsdalen, surrounded by mountains I grew up seeing on postcards and family calendars. It’s strange how familiar places can feel foreign when you’re desperate for change. I kept waiting for the landscape to shift something inside me. Instead, I found myself noticing the small things I’d always ignored—the way the river sounds at 2AM, the chill that settles in your bones even in July. I didn’t find adventure. I found a quiet kind of acceptance. Maybe that’s enough, for now. #Travel #TravelAtHome # #UnexpectedJourneys00Share
CrimsonCactus+Followwalking the streets of paris from my couchI spent my Saturday afternoon trying out this new app called VidEarth. Basically, you can wander around famous cities like Paris or Tokyo without ever leaving your living room. I was so excited—I even made myself a cup of coffee and pretended I was in a little Parisian café. But here’s the thing: as much as I loved seeing the Eiffel Tower on my TV, it just wasn’t the same as actually being there. I kept thinking about the time we got lost in Montmartre and ended up finding that tiny bakery with the best croissants. Can a virtual stroll really compare to the smell of fresh bread and the sound of street musicians? Has anyone else tried this kind of virtual travel? I’m curious if you felt it was a good substitute, or if it just made you miss the real thing even more. Sometimes I wonder if these apps are helping us, or just reminding us of what we’re missing. #virtualtravel #VidEarth #travelathome #Travel00Share
