Happy Times
Along the roads in Gujarat. Our driver was taking us from Talgajada to the airport in Diu, a port side sea town. The roads sometimes smoothly paved from recent construction, to potholes, and then just chaos with road re-routes. But we stopped along the way to roadside bathrooms with food stalls, and also tea stalls.
Remember
The air hangs hot and humid, reaching nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Sweat trickles beneath your clothing as you move along the pathways. Whispers of long silenced echoes lift in the occasional breeze, surrounding you with an eerie sense of something other worldly, foreboding and long lost. Dust particles stir to settle in your lungs with each breath and step you take beneath the intertwined tree limbs hanging just overhead; they provide relief - momentary shelter from the sun’s rays. Each movement, each stir of dust leads you one step closer to whatever beckons. Not knowing exactly what you will find ahead, you still obey the summons. It's that for which you traveled one hundred miles inland.

We've all pondered the idea of "if money was no object". We've all considered what we might do if we were financially free; if we could make decisions without ever considering the "bottom line".

The short days were getting longer. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the blue hour created the magic of the darkest phase of twilight. It was time to put Oliver to bed. Yaya felt the muse come alive when he asked for a story.
Katherine D. GrahamPublished 28 days ago in WanderUnmasking the Winchester Mystery House
Hollywood loves capturing our minds and imaginations and showing us visually compelling stories. However, it's important to peel back the layers of truth on cinematic claims that boast "inspired by true events" or "based on a true story." Such is the case with the movie Winchester.

She took me into her arms in a way that felt like home. Immediately, her warm embrace was unparalleled with almost any comfort I’d ever felt.
Joe O’ConnorPublished about a month ago in WanderA telegram to Little Me
I acquired a magical souvenir; it was a realisation. By taking an impulsive trip to Thailand, I awarded myself the chance to have it. You are our own gift shop. You choose the opening times, you choose the stock. They are the very nature of wisdom, realisations. One could say we collect them and form a magnificent portfolio entitled Experience. And that's why we do the majority of things we do. But travelling is the act most generous in the offering of experience, the gift shop with the best stock. We go on the hunt for experiences, daring ourselves to be stimulated in new ways, by new flavours. To sweat, swim or shiver in the waters of new challenges. To hear new sounds, learn novel outlooks, and relish as hinges creak with unknown doors opening in our hearts and minds. This realisation and the flourishing effect it had upon me made Thailand my best trip yet. All this realisation consisted of was merely a stripped back epiphany of why we do these things. See new places, take new risks, seek refreshing distractions from all that we're tired of being familiar with.
Konrad KrampPublished 29 days ago in WanderA Weekend in Buxton
All my life, I’ve been English in an emotional, mental, and social way, but never a physical one until the Spring of 2022 when all my Anglophile dreams came true. I was finally able to visit my soul country, meet my wonderful online friends in person, and confirm my belief that it was where I belonged.

daniel aggreyPublished about 9 hours ago in WanderSummer Can Kiss My A**
One of my earliest memories is when I was a child, I was probably 4. I went to go play with some kids in my neighborhood, and because they were a few yards away, I walked across the yard rather than go around the block via the sidewalk. It was summer and so I walked barefoot through the grass, feeling happy and free. Suddenly there was pain in my feet and I didn't know why. I ran home, feeling worse pain as I ran.

Tabby LondonPublished 2 days ago in WanderEscape to Mexico Part 3: Papito, Playa Norte and the Mariachi Band
Carrying on from part 2, we had just been lured in by the jolly tequila salesman. I do not remember his name, he asked us to refer to him as Papito. This seemed a strange mix of fatherly intention and inappropriate undertones, as of course I know that papito means “daddy” in Spanish. He plied us with shot after shot of tequila samples. Mango flavoured, coconut, traditional, then mezcal, a different spirit, also agave based. He convinced us to get a small bottle each throwing in a shot glass for free since we both bought some ridiculously overpriced cigarettes because they were in a pink box and we were feeling impulsive. The cigarettes weren’t pink themselves to L’s great disappointment.
