“I don´t have time to be in a hurry.”
-John Wesley
Who hasn´t at some point wished that they could stop time?
Having the power to create a bubble around yourself in a stressful moment, finding an escape route in those situations that overwhelm you and that make us forget what is really important.
Imagine one of those days when your brain collapses and stops processing any external data, when coffee no longer works and your internal battery is registering “recharge required”, when you look out of the window and no matter how far you stretch your neck, all you can see is
buildings and people …
people and buildings …
This is the point when your mind goes blank and you want to stop time.
Imagine that you get on a plane (wake up the pilot with a reset button that you will be able to find somewhere) and you fly along the African coast to get to a place where time automatically stops. As soon as you feel the warm sand of Fuerteventura under your feet, you feel it for yourself.
Leave behind the endless meetings, rush hour traffic jams, routine, monotony and the constant noise in your head. Fuerteventura will wrap its bewitching atmosphere around you – between noble and peaceful, its multicultural influences, its beaches covered with virgin sand and a unique landscape in which you appear to be in a film. Talking about films, at the end of one of those films that softens the heart, the voice of Jason Bateman, following a panoramic view of the Hudson river, closes the film with one of the most beautifully narrated pieces of a comedy film dedicated to those we love and can´t lose, those missed opportunities – from now on, this is what you’ll hear when you need to stop time and come to Fuerteventura.
“Look at us : running around, always rushed, always late – I guess that’s why they call it the Human Race. What we crave for most in this world is Connection. For some people it happens at first sight, it’s when you know, you know! It’s fate working its magic and that’s great for them. They get to live a Pop song, ride the express train but that’s not the way it really works. For the rest of us, it’s a bit less romantic, it’s complicated, it’s messy, it’s about horrible timing and fumbled opportunities and not being able to say what you need to say when you need to say it”.
