Letting places tell their stories
www.discover-interesting-places.com
Paquita'a idea of a good trip is to let it unfold, like a story. She claims to be severely against being told before a play or a film anything pertaining to the tale itself.
Just as she wants to experience the unfolding of a story in the theatre, so it is with journeys of discovery.
When Paquita travels she prefers it to be with the naïveté of the newcomer. I want to be captivated by the sounds, the smells, the disasters and the delights of the journey itself: the destination is secondary.
This travel philosophy means that to get to some place with a label, a title, an expectation, is secondary if the journey itself has:
· coated you with the dust of the unexpected
· refreshed you with laughter
· fed you things you have never eaten before
· introduced you to people whose life has touched yours
· reframed your perspective
· given you a head full of ideas and new thoughts
· loaded your camera with images.
