2021 Drift

Drifting under lockdown – In search of my lost mind

In 2021, as soon as the lockdown levels allowed us to travel, I hit the road on a countrywide drift for the first time. I felt so free after being locked up for so long; it was food that my soul desperately needed. I was working at the time and had negotiated 2 days off per week for 5 weeks so that I could have time for adventures in-between, but it never really worked out that way. It became a chaotic work-life imbalance that I could never have predicted. I decided to re-publish the blogs from that drift, because I had so much fun and some hectic adventures and I’d like to share those with you. I hope you enjoy them!

Crazy Thought of the Day

Does it even matter if I died back then? Because I'm still experiencing the wonder of nature in my here and my now.

I'm grateful for the gift of being elderly in a world that hasn't figured out yet that 60 is the new 40. Discounts galore!
