Raf's Travel Diaries

Life, to me, is made up of cycles. Some are quick, lasting mere days, while others can span a lifetime. I’ve spent the past 8 years in Biarritz, the longest I’ve ever called one place home in my nearly 40 years. It’s been peaceful, familiar, and abundant. But recently, I feel a shift—a subtle closing of this chapter. A restlessness is brewing inside me, a craving for new adventures and unknown horizons. The comfort of this life, though beautiful, is starting to feel heavy, as though stagnation is weighing me down. There’s nothing wrong with this place or the life I’ve built here. It’s been more than enough. But perhaps that’s why it’s time for change—because I have more than I need, and that’s how I know it’s time to seek something new. Raf
