"You're not living through us. You're just watching" Love this Kris! So true. a) I absolutely love that you're both doing trapeze - this is amazing and not something I had ever thought of.... Mark's next birthday present maybe?! b) I'm totally with you on the 'book it' mentality. We only walked the Camino because I went and booked the flights and then we had to. You just have to book these things or you'll never do them. Love it!
I love this so much. This is my approach to travel! The comments of "must be nice" are always a bit awkward because yes, it is nice, but also I am not special. I just wanted to go somewhere so I did! I know finances can be a huge barrier, but there are ways to travel without it being completely out of reach. Travel credit cards, house sitting, cooking your own food.. I digress. I need to apply this mindset to other parts of my life too - that baking course, building this substack/blog, backpacking around the PNW. I'm not getting any younger!
Just took my first Ukulele class. Leaning to play has been on my list for a while. My husband and I are planning a western US national park vacation this May. More bucket list items to check!
This!! I love this! This attitude is what inspired the "Buy The Tickets" name for my Substack. I wanted, no, needed to travel the world for my wellbeing. So I sold everything I owned, eliminated my bills, and bought the tickets. Haven't looked back in 2.5 years. I hear the same things about people wishing they could do the same and living vicariously, etc. Most people give excuses when I start explaining what it takes to make it happen.
I'm definitely guilty of this in other aspects of life, too. So thanks for a gentle reminder and such an inspiring post!
I signed up for a guided backcountry ski day at the end of the month to learn how to alpine tour/telemark ski. Something I’ve wanted to learn for years (ok let’s be honest, decades).

Thanks Louise! Trapeze is a ton of fun and the first class is easy! I promise you will both love it :)

When there’s a will….there’s a way! 😁

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
Totally hear you (and thank you. “living vicariously” is basically just outsourcing your life. 😄
