Life on the road has been pretty tech-free. We've been out of cell service for a surprising amount of nights, campground internet has been slow, spotty, or non-existent, and driving every day means no blogging. I've been posting to instagram here and there but other that that I haven't been able to do much online. We've got a bit of service tonight, so I thought I'd pop in here and say hi.
It's been about 10 days since our first Wildbride Retreat on the Oregon Coast. Holy moly was it a magical weekend. I can't wait to spend this upcoming weekend with our next Wildbrides down here in California. I really want to give you guys a peek at the images we created, but I'm not sure if my internet connection can handle uploading photos, so that'll have to wait. You can see some peeks over on the Wildbride Facebook, website, and retreat site!
Being on this trip has been so similar and different from my first trip. A major difference is having Kristina along with me. While I loved doing the first trip solo, it's been really fun to share stuff with another person. My recent travels have really revealed that to me. The importance of sharing life with other people. I think travel just magnifies that feeling. Being alone in Paris made it so magnified the weight was crushing. I remember on my last Brave trip there were some things I kind of wanted to do but felt like they'd be odd to experience alone. I still did plenty of things, but having someone to share experiences with and bounce ideas off of makes it so much better.
Okay, gotta sign off. More road stories later. Campground check out is at 11! TTYL friends!
