Traveling Alone
\nCamping Solo<\/h2>\n

\"Sierra<\/p>\n

it’s the way to go… slow & solo<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

enjoying quality time alone<\/b> is not weird, wrong, or unnatural, no matter how many strange looks you get from friends & envious co-workers<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Solo<\/p>\n

Stop waiting<\/strong> for someone to do things with. Quit thinking that your best friend or partner will one day magically suggest an outdoorsy road trip, or day hike, or mountain bike ride. YOU are the one who craves the wildness of the earth, the unexplored, the secluded. The time is now for you to start living the life you want, outdoors, in California – today!<\/p>\n

maybe it’s time to leave the city, for good<\/h3>\n

If you’ve just about had it with the pressures of everyday stresses, the wifi city life and the busy pace of civilized society is starting to get to you. Get a clue fast \u2013 before you loose your marbles. It’s time for much needed rest\u00a0and relaxation. Nature is the best place to relax and reconnect with yourself and mother nature.<\/p>\n

Looking to relocate to a more RURAL CALIFORNIA?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hiker\"<\/p>\n

A change in scenery. A fresh perspective. A real break from the norm. No shopping, no errands, no phones, no television, no computers, nobody around. No one, except you.<\/p>\n

and they might call you anti-social…<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Travel<\/p>\n

\n

alone, by yourself<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

away, distant, solely, detached, free, independent, unique, individually
\n<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Call of the Wild<\/h3>\n

Unplug yourself from the hectic rat race\u00a0and go exploring. Give yourself time to fully unwind: time to think, time to enjoy the outdoors\u00a0and really find that special place of peace that comes only from earth. Yes, all by yourself.<\/p>\n

VISION QUEST<\/p>\n

Call it an annual primal ritual, or a first time experiment, traveling solo can be a blessing in disguise. Learning to be alone outdoors, become more aware of the physical world\u00a0and enjoying yourself is an important key to a balanced life. Whether you seek a quick refresher course for the weekend or a full blown month long road trip<\/a>, seeking a new comfortable destination and the art of basic relaxing is the main focus for this trip.<\/p>\n

\"Camping<\/a><\/p>\n

slow going<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you travel alone, it’s easy to take your own sweet time. Going slow is something we don’t usually do in our busy city lives. Time is so precious, so you may as well stretch that vacation out as long as possible. Savor the moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take as long as you like for – photography, picnicking, hiking, stretching, yoga, cooking and stargazing. Firewood collection becomes the biggest chore of the day, and it could take hours. Walking from camp, every direction will lead to a new adventure. Driving back roads at 20 mph is luxurious. No one to be your back seat driver. Sleep in every day if you want. No pressures, no schedules, no big worries. Sunlight, food, heat, weather, cooking and cleaning. Sit back and learn to really relax. Enjoy a secluded camp site for a full week, and get to know the wildlife on a first name basis.

\"Boy<\/p>\n

Follow the back roads<\/a> to seclusion, or reserve several days at a unique campground<\/a>. Imagine night after night of peaceful rest, with the sounds of nature surrounding you & the stars of the heavens dancing across the darkest skies.<\/p>\n

Explore new terrain every day & move to a new camp every night. Or make it a “stay put” week-long meditation, in one spot. Whatever fits your needs. Either way, you’ll enjoy the solitude & the healing powers of nature. Answering to no one but yourself, you may feel guilty or kinda selfish the first few days, but this will fade as you learn to embrace the solo journey.<\/p>\n

And it doesn’t hafta be all about roughin it either. While backpacking into the almighty wilds of the true wilderness<\/a> has its good points – along with life threatening dangers possible every day, a simple quick weekend trip to a nearby small inn, fishing lodge,\u00a0 or a bed & breakfast<\/a> could work for the pampered types. Choose something different and unique, yet know your own limitations (on comfort & on a physical level). Make sure your destination choice is surrounded by some nature and preferably wilderness.<\/p>\n

You won’t miss the television one bit!<\/strong><\/p>\n
