"Dolce Far Niente"


"The beauty of the moment engulfed me in a paradise of its own
    Miles away from the world i have ever known 

    I sat,  I stared, I smiled  and laughed 
    And gazed up at the sky and thanked the stars

   Hush , said the angel , don't say a thing
    Enjoy the silence of listening  to nothing

    This moment comes rarely, but when it arrives
   Enjoy it thoroughly and treasure it with a smile

#Dolcefarniente (Italian: The sweetness of doing nothing)

But not before I tried out my clothes right? Perhaps get some nice pics with them too at the vineyard.    I boarded the train, happily chatting away with  m y friend, Oshin, ...

In the summer of 2014, while I was an exchange student in Innsbruck, I embarked on one of the most adventurous trips of my life. It all began during a solo travel stint to Budapest, where, in a hostel, I met a fellow traveler who told me about something called the Rainbow Gathering. It sounded surreal—an event where gypsies, hippies, and travelers from around the world come together in the mountains, far from civilization, to live communally without the interference of technology, sharing food, stories, and skills around bonfires under the stars. With a zest for adventure and curiosity in my heart, I decided I had to go. I quickly found two other travelers who were equally intrigued, and we made plans to head to the gathering together. But, as fate would have it, I lost contact with them before we could leave. Alone in Budapest and unsure if they’d make it, I decided to go anyway. So, I hopped on a train heading north, toward the rural countryside of Hungary. The gathering was supposed...
