Hassle-free, comfortable tropic holidays, beautiful beaches with soft golden sand, five-star luxury accommodation, the fortnight dreamscape you have been waiting for months. This is how society tells us we need to live and travel industry we need to spend our holidays. But traveling is much more than soaking up the sun, smiley face holidays' picks and ticking off boxes and saying you were there.
Traveling is all about changing perspective, challenging yourself to do things you would never expect you are capable of doing, witnessing and soaking into different cultures, and ways of living and enjoying the magic of single moments and people who you meet on the way, people who can even change who you are and make you go in a new direction. Traveling by its nature entails some sort of discomfort (mental challenge, stress, physical pain), sometimes it really damn hurts. Traveling and true living is not about touching a surface, it is peeling off another layers. It is not following the crowd and choosing what is well known, what is always easy and comfortable...
When you are traveling, every day matters. Do not just dream (everyone does that), simply act, do, go, grab moments because time is something you will never get back. Here they come, weekend inspirations. Two days isn’t a lot of time, but two days somewhere is better than no days anywhere. Even a weekend can be a fascinating adventure. Have you ever thought that you can just get on a train and go to Le Mont Saint Michel in Normandy (France), just for the weekend? How does the famous "omelette de La Mère Poulard" taste and why the hell there are so many people visiting this place?
