Outdoor Adventures
When heading out on a new adventure, the excitement usually kicks in first. The idea of being out in nature, seeing gorgeous views, and having a new experience can truly fill the soul. But when it comes to planning, some of the unknowns can be pretty overwhelming. I know this feeling all too well, which is why I like to include small, random details in my posts that no one may think to tell you. For instance, is parking easy to find? Where’s the closest bathroom? Are there any spots where it’s easy to get turned around? Hopefully, when you head out on your next outdoor adventure, you can worry less and embrace the outdoors more!
