It was my first trip to European countries.

didn't even know what i wanted to see, to do or how to enjoy traveling.

However, seeing new places, getting lost in a maze of busy city, reading maps that i never understood, watching stars through a window of tiny compartment in night train and walking on a streets that I've seen only from photos and paintings were more than enough to make me happy.

didn't have any worries, concerns, nor had any pressure to see something specific.

merely enjoyed being there and experiencing everything I've encountered.

i can see me, smiling with full of joy in every photo taken at that time. there is no sign of anxiety, unease, or distress shadowing on my face at all.

why is it so difficult to have this pure glee again?

  1. 추억이 새록새록.....누님이 여행할 그때 유럽여행이라는것 자체를 생각하지못했는데.....현재 나도 모르게 저도 지구 어딘가에서 역마살이 끼인것 처럼 이리저리 둥지를 터 살고 있네요. 디지털 이전 아날로그 사진들이 너무 정겹네요!! :)
