That sudden, deep, all-is-well-with-the-world moment that is rare and so precious. :-)RamblingTarthttp://www.ramblingtart.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591673976075598771.post-55532174438244189572010-04-26T12:33:04.876-05:002010-04-26T12:33:04.876-05:00I was in the zone often during my year of RTW trav...I was in the zone often during my year of RTW travel. Took some practice to get there during the first few months because I was so used to having work or other things on my mind, but once I let go of everything and got in flow with what I love most--traveling--I was able to do get in the zone without thinking about it. You're right, it's a euphoric, peaceful feeling. Completely in the moment. I love it.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591728147126613560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591673976075598771.post-5174355676652419842010-03-06T21:12:24.406-06:002010-03-06T21:12:24.406-06:00Yep, I had a "zone" moment.

After walking many miles that day, showering, washing out my clothes in the outdoor sinks, I sat down at a table in a crude, makeshift kitchen in the refugio. I was peeling an orange, reading Heminway, and just watching a fly land on the table in the midst of a drop of juice that had just fallen from my orange onto the table. I was completely at peace and completely in the moment, in total observation of the fly, the peeling of the orange, the sun coming in the glassless window. One of the great moments of my life.Angie Albrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02630640386135834724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591673976075598771.post-62170146777919504232010-03-03T01:38:01.036-06:002010-03-03T01:38:01.036-06:00Australia really clicked for me and that's why...Australia really clicked for me and that's why I've made it such a big part of my itinerary.

Live and learn I guess.<br /><br />I sort of think of what you're describing as when a place just clicks for me. When I just seem to "get it" and fit in with how a city/country/pub/town feels and works. When you don't even think to bitch about how there is better beer at home and you just happily live your life. <br /><br />I also think a lot of travelers try and fake "the zone". They want so badly to convince themselves that they're loving their "carton wine and cheetos picnic by the slug museum" that they play it up. They're so busy telling everyone how they could just live there forever and that we'll have to drag them home in chains, etc etc. Otherwise someone will think they're a bad traveler.Shawnhttp://www.rerunaround.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591673976075598771.post-17155363506045145582010-03-02T22:04:09.320-06:002010-03-02T22:04:09.320-06:00Hmm this is a good question, and a tough one.
I ...Hmm this is a good question, and a tough one. <br /><br />I think part of me always feels more in the zone when I'm traveling then when I'm at home. I'm more energetic, I'm more curious about the world around me. I'm more outgoing and adventurous. I explore so much more than I do when I'm at home. That's part of what drives me to travel- I really like my travel self a whole lot better.Stephaniehttp://twenty-somethingtravel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591673976075598771.post-67326158513902455102010-03-02T21:34:38.870-06:002010-03-02T21:34:38.870-06:00I've actually felt "in the zone" whi...I've actually felt "in the zone" while traveling a few times. I love it. I'm a work-a-holic at home and I would check emails all the time from home, dream of work etc. But this past June when I drove to Vancouver for a week my mind blanked. I was in a blissful travel zone. I didn't think about work or check emails. I was so happy. Colours were brighter, smells sweeter, the whole thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
