Lost in Familiarity

Lost in Familiarity Local, abroad, and everything in between. "Lost in familiarity" is that feeling you get when you're in a strange place, but couldn't feel more at home.

I once read that travel is rebellion in its purest form. For when we travel, we free ourselves of labels, willingly lose control, and welcome the unfamiliar. Well, I believe that in each unfamiliarity - we find ourselves lost in familiarity. To me, it's a state of being. It's when your surroundings are UNFAMILIAR, but it still has the strange feeling of FAMILIARITY. It's when you find yourself in

a place where people don't speak the same language as you, but they gesture you to join their table for dinner. It's that moment when you're walking down a street in Lisbon and you smell cookies baking, not your mother's, but they remind you of home. It's that feeling when you're standing on a corner in the middle of Anytown, USA, and someone smiles at you when you catch their eye. It is everything and nothing at all. It is that common thread that undeniably connects everyone and everything. It is how I see life.

As British Columbia dries out every summer, most of Spotted Lake’s water evaporates, leaving hundreds of briny pools.

Dear future husband,

You know I'm always full of bright ideas (part of the reason why you love me so much), and I'm giving you this one well in advance. Not because I don't think you "got this," but because it's my duty to support your visions. With that being said, I whole-heartedly support any proposal idea that requires passports and ocean views...

With prime engagement season upon us, consider a medieval castle in Ireland or the old-world charm of Quebec City for the ultimate romantic proposal.

Did you know we have about a bazillion (perhaps a slight exaggeration) wineries currently making wine in Texas??!?! I knew we had a few, but I didn't realize just how juicy we really are.

This is an interactive Texas wineries map similar to Google of all Texas wineries that can be visited. This is the easiest way to find that next winery!
