Escapism

This morning during my trip to the office, I intently listened to one of my favourite trance tune, Pedro Del Mar Feat. Ridgewalkers – Tears Of The Dragon (Mike Foyle Remix)

It is a vocal trance tune, and one of the lyrics that intrigued me is “Escape to secret places”.

Now lets see here.. escape.. I do sometimes want to escape temporarily from the hectic schedule and work. It will be nice to have your own supposedly secret place to temporarily relax your mind and body.

Each person may have a different interpretation of “escape temporarily from reality” some take it as holidays, some as hobbies, and such… I think the best interpretation for me is temporarily withdraw from the business of life and retreat into some of the exotic places.

It is a wishful thinking though, considering the money and time need to be spent for temporarily escape from the hectic work. Therefore, i tried to compile a list for places that interest me a lot to be my secret escape places a.k.a solitary holiday hahaha..

1. FAROE ISLANDS

Now ladies and gentlemen, look at this place… and imagine Lord of The Ring especially the Shire, the hobbits habitation.. very suitable right? This place looks straight taken from a tolkien universe pictorial. Very serene and captivating. Being a huge tolkien fan, I wish i could have a vacation in here.

 

2.  SWITZERLAND

Swiss, the land of the banks… lol. Now here is a place so cold but so exotic. Seeing the alps and staying in a mountainside villa sure sounds like a very perfect escape location. Since it is located in the central europe, you can easily travel to other european neighboring country such as Italy and France.

 

3. VENICE, ITALY

The most romantic place of all.. now this could be a dreamy place for you and your spouse to escape to. Since I am single, I guess that coming to this place alone will be very boring, well at least not as entertaining with a spouse.

 

4. SEYCHELLES

Now this place.. Aside from being safely isolated from the rest of the world in the middle of the Indian Ocean, this beautiful island nation is a great place to forget about your worries. Isolation is the key here. Perfect to be alone and reflects on past deeds or mistakes.. well maybe a snorkeling or swimming will help too here, hehe

 

5. COLMAR, FRANCE

Picturesque Colmar in France, considered the most beautiful city in Europe, I dont believe that it came straight out of a fairy tale. This tiny town in Alsace is famous not only for its magically colourful old town. Colmar, situated along the Alsatian Wine Route, is called the “Capital of Alsatian Wine” – it boasts a sunny microclimate and is the second driest city in France, making it ideal for wine growing.

 

There you have it folks, my dream places for a temporary escape, lest the money and time allowed for it. hehehe
