(nice, france. lake como region, italy. sicily, italy.)
found out recently that i'll be taking a 2 week business trip with my creative director to maastricht (holland) for the TEFAF design fair. this couldn't come at a better time, since i've recently been itching to GET AWAY. i need a little change of pace, a change of place... looking back through old photos of places i've been in the past couple years makes me nostalgic and a little sad for places, people, times in my life when everything felt completely serene. every time i crack a red bull here at work, all i think of is the stress free days in our beautiful apartment in milan, with the doors to the balcony wide open, barefoot, sitting at the kitchen table working on assignments for classes at the Politecnico. there's nothing more powerful than sounds and smells to trigger a memory... and when that red bull is paired with sebastian tellier or the cure, with eyes shut i would swear to you i was back there.
while i know that this trip to holland will include full days of work at the fair, i also know that being there without friends (aside from a coworker) will allow me plenty of time to make the time there as much like a vacation as possible. i can't wait to explore the different areas in maastricht, to take pictures, to meet people at the fair, attend some of the cultural events they have going on around the city, cook good meals at the apartment we're renting, read books and sketch. it's been a year and a half since i've traveled anywhere (far too long) and with any luck, this won't be the last trip of the year...
