The best weekend getaways felt like pressing pause. Just a few hours down the road, and the world softened—porches with rocking chairs, wooded trails that smelled like pine, cafés where no one was in a hurry. I remember arriving somewhere new on a Friday night, suitcase still zipped, and thinking, “This is already enough.”
What stayed with me were the gentle markers of rest: a handwritten menu on a chalkboard, morning light through a curtain, the comfort of knowing I didn’t need to be anywhere but here. I wandered through old towns and along quiet coasts, across farm roads and forest edges, and each time I came back, it felt like I’d been away much longer than a weekend.
