THE BEGINNING
關於旅人
那些寫在
街道上的記憶
我是 Benjamin,懷舊旅人。從東京的旅行筆記,到台北的老屋與街角,
我把一路上喜歡的風景,慢慢留在這裡。
也許你是從某一條街的照片,或是一句剛好說中心情的文字走進來的。這裡,想先當作一個小小的起點,把我為什麼開始記錄這些老屋與街角,慢慢說給你聽。
故事的延續
從東京開始,故事繼續留在台北。
2014 年,我開始在東京寫下旅行筆記。那些走過的地方、看見的風景,慢慢成了文字,也成了後來這趟旅程的起點。
回到台北以後,我繼續記錄各地的懷舊角落。從老屋到街道,從一座城市到另一座城市,這是一場風格與故事的接力。
這裡,是我旅程延續下來的地方——NOSTATRIP,懷舊旅人。
關於懷舊
有些年代,我們沒經歷過,
卻依然覺得親近。
每個國家、每個世代,都有它特有的舊時代氣味。日本的昭和年代、台灣早期的眷村文化,那些帶著時間痕跡的氛圍,總讓人不自覺地慢下來。
村上春樹的《挪威的森林》,寫的是昭和時代的愛情,卻讓許多平成世代的讀者產生共鳴;電影《我的少女時代》裡的復古氣息,也讓不同年齡的人找到自己的位置。
我想,懷舊就是這樣一種跨越年代的情感共鳴。即使沒有親身經歷,也能在其中遇見熟悉的感受。
老屋與街角

舊建築,是城市的低語者。
當城市以一日千里的速度向前推進,仍有人替它留下一些緩慢的空間。老屋與街角保存著歷史,也留住一種讓人安靜下來的生活節奏。
如果要在一間現代咖啡廳與一間老屋茶室之間選擇,我總是走向後者。它們像一位博學的長者,不多說話,卻處處是故事。
除了歷史與建築,每個人心裡也都有一段難以抹去的記憶。那些單純而沒有憂慮的時光,常常在疲憊時,成為心裡最柔軟的支撐。
即使兒時的眷村已不復存在,當再次看見那棵陪伴過自己的老樹,記憶仍會毫無預警地湧上來。這座城市裡,藏著許多屬於我們共同的回憶。
讓人重新感覺,
自己正在生活。
A LITTLE SPACE TO SLOW DOWN
城市裡的人
從街道,慢慢走向城市裡的人。
走在城市裡,我也開始把目光留在風景之外:日常裡沒有說出口的心情、關係裡的靠近與離開,還有那些安靜下來以後,才慢慢聽見的聲音。
於是,這裡有了《城市裡的人》。我想透過文字,把生活裡那些細微的感受留下來,讓一個剛好走進來的人,感到一點熟悉、一點被理解。
寫給那些在安靜下來以後,
才聽見自己心聲的人。
下一段路,從這裡開始。
