I absolutely loved camping at Big Bend National Park. There is just something so refreshing about packing in your groceries, getting off the grid, and being in awe of the beauty that surrounds you. The raw and open terrain and riding down hills around the park in neutral was so much fun.

Join a gym or find apps to use showers. After hiking and exploring, deodorant can not mask the stench. It is really refreshing to plan out showers at national park campgrounds, gyms, and the like.

I read, edit photos, and plan out hopes, dreams, and things to do. I'll either soak in the wifi or disconnect with reading and writing. Often, after a day on the road, I'm pretty beat and ready to sleep. If I'm near a gym, night workouts are great because I can shower and go to bed refreshed. If I'm in a community, a bonfire or cookout goes without saying. I've also spent my fair share of times in cafes and grocery store eating areas for the wifi.

I worked a corporate job for two years and lived very minimally. I have worked seasonally in jobs like surf instruction and a smoothie cafe. I sold excess clothing and household items to initially fund trips. I am currently working at a surfboard factory 4 days a week and building a destination wedding photography business. I also do surf and commercial photography.
