Travel indulgence

It gets oddly lonely and disconcerting sometimes...

Running around the world, seeing stuff, not 'using' the experience for anything except my own pleasure. Somehow feels a little, well, not pointless but self-indulgent and maybe a bit patronising.

It's hard to only share the culmination of each day's culture-stimulus with only one person directly. But if others were here, the experience would be diminished. What a paradox!

Ya, travel *is* self-indulgent, patronising and everything else...
But it's still such a great experience try not to suffer too much for your art and humanity ;-)
Tis a Western curse to feel guilty for our privileges and immense good fortune. And extreme hard work went into it as well, don't forget. You deserve it ;-)
