Ask me why I go
 |
| Detail |
I have been fortunate to live
in many parts of Europe as a student and in my working life, as well as
travelling for leisure. In the days before economy flights, I loved the
adventure of ferry crossings, long train journeys, changing one currency for
another and embracing a new language at each border. Ultimately, I went for a
world quite different, a life lived outside on the streets in a sunnier clime.
This sun at the heart of the world was central to that experience, balconies
lived on and not for storage, exotic fruits growing on the vine or mounds of
them piled up in market squares.
Nadya Aisenberg's poem of the
same title always captured for me the colour and warmth of lands around the
Mediterranean and Adriatic and the sense of freedom I felt far from home.
