I know that hundreds of thousands of people go through break ups every day but as naive as this sounds, I did not expect this to happen to me. Not at this point in my life, not with this guy, the one I thought I would spend my future with.

A woman admires the snowy landscape of a lake in the South Island of NZ
I’m sharing this story because I know, as travel lovers, we are all familiar with the ticking clock. We count down the hours until our next trip – and then we will time to slow down when we’re enjoying the last moments of a holiday. We’re constantly obsessing about taking time off work, finding enough time for family, looking at flight times, train times, bus times. Time, time, time.

After living abroad for seven years, I recently returned home to the beautiful city of Cologne (spelt Köln in German).

Travel means different things to different people. To me, it’s inextricably linked with storytelling. Every trip is full of interesting characters and plotlines - my imagination is free to run wild. I imagine what it must be like to live in each place I visit, reminisce about the stories of my past, and daydream about the possibilities of the future.

Woman with her nose buried in a book while camping

Footprints in sand, woman walking on South Island beach in Catlins, New Zealand
“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”
