Hey Nathan,

In an interesting coincidence, I plan to travel in a train around the US this June as I transition from school back to the work-world to better see the vast expanses that make up America. A friend emailed me an article about train travel from the NYT: https://travel.nytimes.com/2009/03/08/travel/08amtrak.html?emc=eta1

Enjoy!
Fatima

This is a great entry. And you totally capture well the paradox of traveling–that sense of freedom giving way to loneliness. I think writing while traveling is also an interesting change. It’s almost like your sense of place is sharper when you’re just encountering it-but also deceptive because you’re encountering the shiny new surface rather than any depths. Have fun in Providence!

Actually, I used to drive myself totally crazy obsessing about where I was writing. I would feel like I could write only when the conditions were 100% ideal. It was later hugely liberating to decide that, actually, writing is what I do and must do and I'll do it wherever I damn well please. Of course, though, place matters. As I wrote here, and oh boy it's true, "it matters that I'm in New York."

Ah yes!
The best account of travel I remember reading. I often wonder where is the best place to live for a poet, writer, artist, spiritual person? I often look on the back of a book jacket of any book I like to see where the writer lives. Perhaps it is a complicated micro-environment that makes it work,

A quote comes to mind: “I love to travel, but hate to arrive,” said Einstein. Some of my most vivid travel memories have been borne of destinations passed-through, as opposed to actual endpoints. After a long afternoon training through the green and golden Rhine river valley, dark-bricked Cologne came across as much more static than stately.

Have an excellent trip!
