In the beginning...
this blog was conceived as a journal to record my observations and musings for my month in Southern Germany a few years ago. At the end travelling turns out to be a lot busier than I thought - I travelled lots, never managing to stay at home beyond five months, resulting in no blog posts.
Now that I am tied to a desk by day and reminiscing over my travels by night, I can finally start working on this blog.
And there was a cloud

And there was a cloud
The concept of the cloud is inspired by the opening lines from Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" (also known "The Daffodils")
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
Travelling is not unlike a cloud floating over a foreign landscape; one observes from a distance, hovering, but never fully engaging. It is a overview, fleeting yet enchanting.
I take pleasure in solo travelling, hence the name "The Lonely Cloud."
