Back in July of this year, some acquaintances (most of the people I had just met) and I set off on a 100 mile journey to the international rainbow gathering. The entire stretch took us 8 days in total. It is the most I have ever walked in one experience. We had an incredibly moving and hard time, but in the end, it was all worth it. What it provided for me, was a chance to see the difference of going from an urbanized city, into the forest. Dealing with 11 other personalities was also a challenge for me. Most of the people that came on the trip hadn’t even been backpacking before. But we all made it out. And I am sure we are all the better for it. I put this as a reminder to the power of simply walking, appreciating each and every inch of travel, without the use of fossil fuels. It was a true gift that I will always remember.
