alt-j. ms. [songs]

this song reminds me so much of all those evenings my friend and i spent crawled up next to a little fire, somewhere close to the ocean. somehow, there was always a bit of sand which made its way into our sleeping bags, no matter how hard we tried to keep it from happening.

maps. planning. counting down days. [travels]

it's not the most ideal situation when your best friend in the world lives in vancouver. not generally speaking of course but if you yourself are living in zurich and the both of you do not have loads of money to throw out of the window for flights this is a bit of a problem. however, i was able to find a flight that i can actually afford and therefore i will be hanging out with my lovely faerie of the forests for three weeks. well, hanging out is not quite accurate. we will be finding out how far away from vancouver we can get on our bikes. the plan is to be near the ocean every single day since the ocean is our favourite thing ever and since the world is quite unfair sometimes, there is no ocean near zurich anywhere. so, we will be spending our days on our bikes, out in nature, camping out on beaches, collecting beach treasures, making bonfires and singing on the top of our voices together because that is another favourite thing of ours. for now, i will just occupy myself with studying maps, in anticipation of this overload of summer happiness. we will also be weird together, have insanely long talks about just virtually anything we can think of and do everything that can only be done with best friends. now, we just have to find a way to teach the bestest dog in the world to run next to a bike. although i have to say, if she is equally stubborn in this regard as she is with her refusal to ever learn how to swim this might prove to be really difficult. anyway, with or without dog, these three weeks will be amazing and i am sure that it won't rain. ever. not a single time during those weeks. ever.
