One of ideas to escape to a far away place from a daily life is to imagine with a help of histories. It’s a bit early for me to go for vacation this year, I decided to go to a historical place just for walking down an ancient path. Fortunately, it was not so far from my house in terms of spatial distance but was far from the present day in terms of temporal distance.
Another idea is to visit a port nearby to see boats, especially ocean liners. Fortunately Yokohama bay is not so far and I visit there frequently as a part of daily life.
However, needless to say, the best way to break the routine should be visiting a new place where you have never imagine. The last one was taken at 2000km south from my town in spring break time. Still I was in Japan but everything was more or less different. As you see, palm trees grow wild, as you may imagine, strange sounds from nature are there.

Nice image of your journey in time rather than space. 👌🏻
Modern society is too busy. It seems that sometimes it is better to travel through time than to spend time for space.
You’re absolutely right!
Lovely post proving you don’t have to go far to be unbound!
I suddenly remembered a book by Richard Back titled “there’s no such place as far away”.
