About a year ago I started writing a short snippet to introduce myself for a dating app and found myself starting a small poem but it didn’t fit the character limit! So I cut my losses and copied it into my google notes, proceeding to then write something humdrum, shorter and more traditional and moved on with my life.
Lazy Modern Traveller
I don’t mind clocking up the miles on a motorcycle or in a car. To catch a sunset or sunrise, any hour night or day.
I’m just happy to get away. Brunch is my preferred start, after sleeping in and wishing the world away. Poach eggs on toast a real treat to make me strong and steady on my feat.
Anything with an engine takes my fancy, two wheels, four wheels, it doesn’t matter to me. I even prefer those items with marks and lines to show that they have lived in their time.
Afternoon comes and I like my coffee, strong and sweet, if I’m lucky served in a cozy seat. Maybe in a bubbling cafe with a well-trimmed barista and radio a-play or just from the thermos at the side of the road, stretch the legs, and on we go.
Finally, when the day is done, sunset felt, photography done. I like a whisky and a cigar, maybe to hear someone else’s tale across the bar. For I am a lazy modern traveler, no hurried pace of life for I’m just wanting to watch the world go by, one mile at a time.
I often have little blocks of words like this floating round my mind, often they are in a particular accent that makes them smooth and flow better and tells a better narrative. However I don’t often share them, and normally forget them without ever noting them down.
That’s about to change though; over the last few years whenever I regal a friend or colleague with a holiday, adventure or share hidden gems for an area they are about to visit they all say the same thing… you should write a blog and do a podcast!
Welcome to the blog and the podcast will follow as soon as I get my act into gear, given I work for Focusrite I really have no excuse. All feedback is welcome but keep in mind I am not doing this to please everyone, it is my travel diary and thoughts for my account and if people find it useful and interesting then great.
