Heaven on Earth
Finally capture the dream...
"Paradise" is without a doubt the most worn term in travel. But what do individuals imply when they use this adjective excessively? A wonderful place is the most basic representation of a traveller's nirvana. However, one person's idea of beauty may seem monochromatic to another.
Some people find deserts or big-sky plains to be paradise, while others find them to be dangerously uncontrolled. Mountains and woods can be a spiritual home for certain people, but they can also be claustrophobic for others. Cities, densely populated and laden with history and culture, are either the essence of civilisation or its betrayal. Even the ocean and its salty connections, though widely regarded as the epitome of happiness, are not without their detractors.
Paradise is more of a mental state - not just a lovely location, but also an emotional state, a spiritual revelation, a feeling of serendipity or inevitability when perfection collides – or all of the above. Because it's where you're happiest, paradise is incredibly individualized.
It might be a craving for something unique, pure, and mysterious, for perfection in an imperfect world, at its most complicated. It might be related to the areas where we had wonderful childhood memories. It might be a counterpoint to our hectic or calm lifestyles.
Seven of our authors have picked their "paradise found" from among the numerous places they've visited. We have three wild locations, a settlement perched above a mountain lake, two islands, and just one metropolis, which may represent our first-world worldview.
