Now its almost summer, and you can climb almost anywhere pretty soon. So if you could just pack up and climb wherever , whenever and all over where would you choose.
Do you think you could like in a van for months, years and just climb?
For those who have been on a long climbing road trip what are the ups and downs?
My longest road trip was 6 months, across the U.S. I had a great time. met many wonderful climbers. Enjoyed both the U.S and Canada. People were generally warm and friendly.
So what has your longest road trip been like? Do you plan on going on one this coming year? Do you miss the average life of work and bills, any concern for being a free of responsibilities?
Share the plus and minus of the Climbing Road Trip Lifestyle.
I dont know, I am trying to figure it out. I have three weeks than I am off on a nine month climbing trip. So far I have Yosemite, RRG, New, Canada, EPC maybe, Indian Creak, Ten Sleep and Spearfish.[/quote
Well, Its sounds like you are going to have a great time, No worries, No bills, No Boss, Freedom.
So many people are stuck in their miserable lives. filled with stress , exhaustion, no time for fun, paying bills.
That dream of a a nice house and family often turns into a prison sentence.
Often their job is torture, filled with deadlines, stress, and very little self-expression.
Sure there are people who love their work. Unfortunately alot of people are miserable and working in toxic environments.
They become both physically sick and emotionally drained. Their only dream is to retire. By then they are unable to enjoy any fun activities.
. By then they are worn out. and often unable to even enjoy a nice vacation. They work there entire lives, and end up with heart attacks, strokes. and cancer.
Or living in a nursing home, or worse. They never get to take their dream vacation and have a wonderful lifestyle. It makes you wonder .
Thats why the key to happiness, IMO, is finding a job that will give you a lot of time off to climb. RN... My girlfriend does six days on, eight off with 21 days paid vacation starting out. I would take that job if it only paid $30k a year, that sounds outstanding. APRN, nurse anesthetist sounds like a dream job. You make BANK starting out and you dont need an MD, plus you get loads of time off and you barely even need a resume. Just walk into a hospital and tell them your a CRNA and you have it made.
If medical classes werent so extremely uninteresting, I would be an RN, just tell me where to sign. But I would be bored to death in college learning about the medical field, that stuff is so boring.
