"Denke lauter, als andere schreien" // "Think louder when others scream"
Tall, quite, but with a sarcastic sense of humour - I met Ilya at the doorstep of my hostel - a boyish but reassuring smile hidden away underneath a black hoodie - one hand holding a beer, the other tucked into his pocket as if he was waiting for a bus but not really counting the minutes. And though he seemed like any other tourist that came to this city - I learned later that he had come to Madrid with not even a toothbrush or a suitcase, but just with an open mind to saying yes to whatever came his way and the need to move somewhere for the week. Be it that we travel to go to places, or that we travel to escape places - in the end it seems that travel is a way of dealing with what our minds and thoughts don't want to quiet down at times. And sometimes spontaneity or impulse is the only way of dealing with it.
