We all had that trip. The one where we stood completely still looking at the ocean. Where we ended up talking to a local vendor for an hour and forgot we had anywhere to be. Where we stayed in a café all afternoon just watching the world pass.

This is that kind of travel.

About Gladis

Travel can bring us back to ourselves.

I’ve spent mornings in Kyoto before anyone else arrived. Weeks in the same village in Turkey, learning to slow down. Cleaning toilets in Alaska to earn a hike I’ll never forget.

Travel hasn’t made me happy because of where I went — it’s made me happy because of what I noticed along the way. I’m a certified yoga and meditation teacher. This blog is my other practice.
