Life Continues Without Us: The Stoppage of Time When We Travel

by Unknown's avatar

Whenever you go on a trip, whether the voyage constitutes a vacation or even work, you experience a certain suspension of time. You leave your normal everyday routine and find yourself unmoored from time, even if your family, friends, or co-workers accompany you on your journey.

The Search for Nothing Amidst Everything

by Unknown's avatar

Esperaba que alguna vez. Nada puede durar tanto, no existe ningún recuerdo por intenso que sea que no se apague. I woke up alone in Puerto Vallarta. My mouth dry. My body sore. My senses numb.

Mt. Fløyen, Håkonshallen, and Rosenkrantztårnet

by Unknown's avatar

So, we’ve been in Bergen about two weeks, and all I can say is, “Wow!” Over the past fourteen days, we’ve hiked Mt. Fløyen, visited Bergenhus, walked around the city centre, and learned how to navigate the grocery stores. All in all, it’s been an exciting two weeks. Today, I just want to share some pictures and stories about our time here in Bergen … Read More Mt. Fløyen, Håkonshallen, and Rosenkrantztårnet
