RE: I'm quitting

Nights by the fire, cooking meals and brewing coffee on it, and waking up to nothing but the crisp fresh air and sounds of nature waking up for the day seems too attractive to turn down right? Add the lack of computers and phones and...Sounds bloody perfect!

Go for it!

P.S. I found this post of yours, while reading a novel called 'Blue Highways', written by a man who did exactly this in the mid 80s, driving his van across the USA. The novel describes this trip and apparently became a bestseller.

This was of course at a time before Internet
but hey, escaping to nature is in our blood ;<)

Sort:  

Escaping is a legitimate thing to do but so hard to do for most people. I guess we tie ourselves to things, creature-comforts, and are loathe to leave them behind for a more simpler life. I've been on a journey of letting go of much of those things over the last few years and tend to only focus on things that provide what I see as a more fulfilled life. My 4x4, kayak, hiking boots, off-road camper and so on. I'm happier.

Thanks for your great comment, I appreciate it.
