Journeys for Knowledge

Having completed my thesis at the end of July, I was left with a week with which to relax and pack for my return home. I chose to spend four of those days visiting my friend Philip at his home in the Italian Alps. Though technically I was in Italy, the region is primarily German speaking, and to get there I had to fly to Austria and take the train further into the valley. The train ride gave me time to rest and enjoy the mountain scenery, a stark contrast from the rolling hills of England. I arrived in Meran and met up with Philip along with my other friends Ali and Isabelle, as we explored the town. It was a quiet town with an amazing landscape, and it wasn’t until the sun finally went down that we realized how late it was getting. A peaceful start to a well earned vacation.
