corner view ≈ sights | places of interest | off the beaten track

when i go traveling, i check out sights beforehand 
{both online and analog} 
and enjoy the anticipation of starting off. 
{francesca, below is FOR YOU!}


next i indulge myself in the prospect of taking a road less traveled, checking out a nook or cranny, chatting up a local, using all of my senses.... until i'm well and truly lost.


i do that each and every time.


when you allow yourself the time to get lost, you find treasures

and you sample eye candy for future reference. yumm!

    Lovely discoveries

  11. I loved discovering your city with you ... I never would have found that street market otherwise!

    I never read the guide books when I travel, or sometimes I peek while on the airplane or after I've been there a few days. My favorite discoveries are the side streets, alleyways and alcoves, too :)

  12. Dearest Nadeschda,
    your words could have come straight from my heart!
    Love to get lost. Find myself in a bird, or cat, a flower a wall a piece of... something.

    xo Ariane.

  13. You obviously have an eye and feeling to find treasures!
    It seems as if the little bird told you to follow him and watch the city through his eyes. And the cat looks so serious and wise...what do we know about creature's thoughts?
    I love to get lost in foreign places and let me be surprised by coincidence.
    And I love to be guided by your pictures and thoughts. Always a great pleasure!

    But now confess...you did that graffito, didn't you? Postcard-substitute, no? C'mon...! ;o)))

  15. I love getting lost, but can only do this when I have no children. I once made the mistake of not knowing the ferry across to NJ from New York stopped running at 7 p.m. and had the kids totally freaked out because it was hard to get a taxi driver to go across with the number of people in our party. It all worked out in the end, but my oldest still remembers it and now has bad memories of our trip to New York City.
