Since I grew up not traveling much at all (if ever), I think I’ve sort of caught a bug that makes me want to do it all the time here and now. Still, it never happens as often as you’d think. Instead, we tend to take little weekend trips to nearby midwest cities and we end up either staying with friends or in an AirBNB. And these trips are spurred on by hiking schedules. But I know I still want to do more. And so we’ve been taking an entire week to go to a large hiking trip in Oregon every summer that ends up with us camping out all 5 days and learning to climb up the mountains and burning excessive amounts of calories.
I’m already starting to set aside a few cheap moving boxes that have things I don’t want to forget to pack for the days that I want to spend on the mountains. It’s kind of nice to know that these cheap moving boxes will likely travel with me for both legs of the vacation, if only because such boxes can hold things extremely well, they can be closed in if I’m worried about things spilling out or becoming damaged, and they’re great at being organized within the vehicle or even a cabin or campsite. My summer is looking to be an extremely fun one, especially now that one of my planned vacations just became extended. I hope this is a trend for future years ahead of me, because I’ve always felt like I needed to catch up on the traveling I never did for the first 20 years of my life. Now that I have the maturity, the time, the desire, and the income to plan my own trips, I should absolutely take advantage of those resources and put them to good use. After all, there’s not much else out there that will help you grow as much as experiencing other cultures and customs.
