nomads

I'm currently a temporary nomad, and the impulse to undertake this journey stems from a longstanding preference for travel in the slow, ambulatory sense—as a meandering journey and an open-ended quest to experiment firsthand how one can gaze outward beyond the self, as well as inward towards and through it.

This essay by Nick Hunt thus resonates deeply. It draws parallels between the acts of travel, walking and pilgrimage, and interrogates the relationship between being away and being home, providing rich fodder for those of us who have gone on the road for whatever purpose—salvific or otherwise.

Beautifully written essay and a great read for me, thank you for sharing. While I never engaged in any pilgrimage, I too have a preference for travelling in slow mode. And have experienced the same findings as Nick - the world is a continuum and you can truly know home by first going away. 

Wishing you a wonderful journey and lots of special moments pinned to your tangible landscape of memory ❤️
