If it weren’t for these hikes… Stop it, Nick. Look around you. Breathe the air. Enjoy the free time while you can. I often struggle with my mindset when it comes to these transitions. When I come to …

And so my stay here nears its conclusion. Emotions typically escalate toward the end, and have a tendency to come from both ends of the spectrum. Sad to leave these wonderful people and this peaceful place behind. Uncertain …

A stark contrast from one host to the next. Certainly not in a bad way; this host is the “homestead” type with a father (Jacob), mother (Rachel), and two daughters (Alora and Natoma). Here, they focus on herbalism, …
