One backpack, One sleeping bag

由起先對「無敵」日落的驚豔到後來習慣以海辨別方向...然後再對落日失去眷戀，黃昏時間更留意的是掠起了的衣服乾透了沒有，不然今晚沒有長袖衣服穿。

再美好的東西，習慣了便有種「噢，是挺美啊」然後便繼續生活，不再願意抵著海風沉溺耽美。

但每逢看見希臘人悠閒望海的眼神，那怕只是短暫數秒，我總會卻步駐足與他遙距作伴；因為我知道，美麗的海可以在很多地方尋見，而我想烙在底板上的，是那杯泛著輕煙的咖啡、石像般的姿勢，還有那對時間流逝的安然隱逸。

CouchSurfing basically means living in a local home in a foreign country. It's designed for adventurous people who dunno-why believing in a total stranger and have experience living together for a period of time.

Konstantinos, a Greek surfer in Heraklion, happens to become our 1st host in our trip, and very likely to be the best one.

4 days living with him is a breeze. He drives us, taking us to the best local restaurants (unlikely to be those expensive ones), and have us in his own house with all things that we need.

I wish there are Konstatinos all over Europe. And yes. The video shown explains the possibility that im visiting Crete again in the future. Just. For. The. White. Chocolate.

Konstantinos gave us unique greek cuisine experience that couldnt be find in ANY tourist guides, Probably the most relax days of our trip. I cant stop thinking about the fooooood that we had these days.

I've never thought of travelling in such a in depth way. Living with local people, spent time with them, talk to them in such close-distance and personal way, know their customs and daily philosophy more personally. It was surely exceptional. I don't think I'll be doing this kind of travelling later on in my life. Therefore, I'll treasure what I'm experiencing in these 3 months.

Greece, 4 more days and we're done here. It was really a pause for people like us who used to live in a big city. During these 2 weeks, we didn't see people hurrying to work, we don't see traffic jam, we don't hear noisy music, no buses and people waiting in lines for ATM. We hear ocean, we feel the breezing wind, we see people sitting out in the cafe just chatting, we lose the sense of time.

upcoming will be a whole new experience, Rome. I'm excited to visit all the old masters' works, paying tribute to their foot steps.

一切才剛開始，剛開始。

我想用雙眼去紀錄，筆杆去證明，

我在這段時間裡用盡氣力去活出還屬於自己的人生。
