Comment:

The full title is As the sand stretched between our toes, we knew we were home (or, a guide to running from the modern world). It wouldn't all fit.

This mix is dedicated to the idea that one can indeed live life on the road, just traveling from town to town, city to city, country to country, continent to continent, and have an infinitely fulfilling life.

It's also a fantasy mix for me. It is my utter fantasy to do what is described above. Just traveling with my lover, or my life partner, or my dog, or some kind of companion is a beautiful idea to me. Just beautiful.

At the same time, this mix represents the possible repercussions and consequences of this lifestyle. In my opinion, it is worth every small, worldly loss.

The world is more than two-story houses and commuter jobs.76 Minutes Long.
