I enjoy reading while sitting on a park bench, climbing up a granite or sandstone wall with my life in the hands of the belay partner 15 meters below, surfing waves that feel like they’re being pushed by Mother Nature herself, picking lemons from my grandma’s backyard, wondering about the meaning of life while watching bonfire logs crackle and burn, napping on an itchy but soft dry bed of grass, sharing the best tasting bowl of a portable boiler made packaged ramen with fellow nature loving friends, watching the ripples of ocean waves crawl back and forth on the sand, hiking up a neighborhood hill to admire the Los Angeles skyline at sunset, and splashing in puddles while wearing my rain boots.
When I am outside, it doesn't matter what the activity is, whether I'm in the city, or at a national park, as long as I’m breathing fresh air, and there is no roof between my head and the sky, I feel the most at peace and connected to the world.
