walking across spain in 28 days https://journals.worldnomads.com/naomicollett/ Thu, 16 Apr 2026 05:36:51 GMT World Nomads Adventures The most rewarding travels begin with a search for something that's never quite found. My first trip to Europe was unsettling. For years I consumed info on other countries, and as a result, after more than six weeks in Spain I felt, in some respects, unsurprised by what I had seen. I travel to see beautiful things and meet beautiful people, and for a last chance at being a child. Two years ago, when my father passed away suddenly, I traveled to Cambodia to escape. I traveled to Laos both to lose myself and to find myself. In travel, I can be anyone. I found myself more open and willing to accept my discomforts as impermanent and isolated. I try always to say yes, and to bask in the rush of the impending unknown. I love what Camus wrote that what gives value to travel is fear-an interruption in other words, or emancipation from circumstances and all the habits we hide behind when at home. I can contemplate how I will return changed, and how I will change those I crossed. Travel guides me towards a better balance of knowledge and empathy, and I am eager to encourage people, through my photos, to gain experience through travel. https://journals.worldnomads.com/naomicollett/photos/35998/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Spain naomicollett https://journals.worldnomads.com/naomicollett/photos/35998/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/naomicollett/photos/35998/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 3 Dec 2012 10:40:00 GMT 0
