What the Train Window Taught Me

Travel does not always mean far away. Sometimes it means watching the landscape rearrange itself while you sit still.

I love the middle of a journey — not the packing, not the arrival, but the in-between.

On a train, the world edits itself: fields, towns, a flash of water, someone else’s laundry on a line. You are a guest of motion.

Small travels count

You do not need a grand itinerary to travel well. A new street, a museum afternoon, a weekend room with a different window — these also open the mind.

Bring a notebook. Leave room for nothing planned. That empty space is often where the real trip begins.
