Leaving New York—even just for a little while—always felt like loosening something tight. One train ride, one highway curve, and the skyline gave way to trees, river towns, stillness. I remember leaning back in a window seat as city noise faded, and thinking, “It’s not far, but it feels like freedom.”
What stayed with me were the soft shifts: fog on the Hudson, old bookstores in towns with creaky sidewalks, wildflowers leaning through fences on quiet back roads. I wandered through mountain trails, lakeside mornings, and tiny cafés where no one needed to be in a rush—and I came back each time feeling lighter, like I’d stepped outside of time for a little while.
