“I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.”

— John Muir

Hi my name is Bridgit, I am an engineering student trying to survive in the frozen tundra that is Upstate New York. I have been running away to the wilderness since I was ten years old (just ask my terrified mother) and I never plan to stop. The outdoors is where we go to find peace to recenter ourselves and to reconnect with each other.

Last year I started having seizures and was told by the doctors that I was putting myself under too much stress. A few months later my boyfriend and I camped all over the northeast living out of his car for 10 days and my seizures stopped. Sometimes all we really need is some fresh air not a cell phone tower in sight.

With this blog I hope to encourage people to stop, hug a tree, look at some dirt, take a picture of a pretty cloud. Nature is all around you even in the most concrete of jungles, so take a second to appreciate the grass sprouting in the cracks of the sidewalk and you might just find that the world is so much bigger than your anxiety.
