Trekking Across Switzerland, Guided by Locals’ Hand-Drawn Maps

Not usually a fan of digital detox stories of any flavour, but this one is different. A beautiful, simple idea: Ask locals where you should go next, and have them draw you a map. And that’s all you have as you hike. This resonated strongly: «Even when doing something I love, I often imagine what’s coming next. […] If I don’t know what’s coming, I can’t imagine myself there. Suddenly I’m present and engaged in a way I rarely am.»
