Room with a view

It was these small, peaceful gardens what I loved the most when I first came to this country at 18. They are still very special, their view always comforting and welcoming me.

Every time I come back it´s as if I´ve never left. The beloved city greets me with the same smells and sounds and instantly makes me feel at home. Comforted. A place I belong, without effort. A place where everything else can stay behind, forgotten or definitely ignored. And it does, for a while.

Then, there is again that pressing need to walk, to keep walking, to pass from all the places I love or mean something to me, to take the whole city in. Because the countdown has started.
