Blog

Welcome to the first blog post on this site! Before delving into what exactly is a ‘getaway’, I’d like to confirm that while I am involved with music full time, I’m not a full-time traveler. But if you follow this blog, you’ll see that I have plenty of opinions on both travelling and music. Occasionally, those opinions might even be controversial. My plan is to make 2 posts each month – one about travel and the other about music. So, let’s get to it!

One dictionary defines ‘getaway’ as an act or instance of getting away such as an escape or a place suitable for a vacation. So, by definition, the word getaway could be a noun or a verb. I would also propose that a getaway could be mental, physical, or both. Therefore, my posts about travelling will vary between physical getaways and mental getaways.

Perhaps one of the reasons I have such a passion for music is that it has always been one of the ultimate mental getaways for me personally. Growing up as a kid, my friends noticed that I was never bored. I’ve always had a vivid imagination which could whisk me away to many places and many time periods. Fortunately, I never used drugs to assist in those mental getaways.

But let me be clear, no matter how many pictures I may come across of scenic places, whether in my head or in a book, they always fall incredibly short of the thrill of actually being there.  I’m looking forward to not only sharing my thoughts of travel and getaways, but I also look forward to reading the thoughts and experiences from others who have a passion for travel and just getting away. Do you have a favorite city, or favorite beach, or favorite country? Maybe you found a perfect getaway at a special café, a park, or a town square. Do you have any tips or suggestions about travel?
