learn to navigate by the stars
not quite done, but improved. 2 years ago

i have walked through the desert knowing my direction by following the north star, but that’s not particularly hard. my studies had definitely helped me survive though. i guess my ultimate goal for navigation is being stuck at sea and being able to correctly (at least roughly) get to New Jersey or another specific place.

eh. 2 years ago

i’m done with this! i was done the moment i saw it



roadtrip
last summer i went crazy and roadtripped. 2 years ago

best thing i’ve ever done. i found some worthy companions (mostly my then-boyfriend, drew) and went to mexico, arizona, north carolina, new jersey, maine, niagara falls, santa cruz, CA, and the american southwest and all he places in between. my car got stuck in sand and i walked 30 miles through mountain lion country then hitched 40 miles to find a telephone that worked. i have a lot of stories, but my mai regret is not having a camera. definitly recommend going on a roadtrip, especially if you’re feeling a bit adrift in life.
