My Impromptu 2-Month Solo Cross-Country Road Trip
Reflecting on that one time I took an impromptu, solo, cross-country road trip (*aka some of the best months of my lifeβ¦)
2 years ago, September 2020, on the Virgo New Moon, I wrote out the question:
βππππ ππ ππ πππππ ππππ? π΄π π΄ πππππ ππππ ππππππππ, ππ ππππππππ, ππ ππ ππππππππ, ππππ πππππ π΄ ππ?ββ¦
& that was when I realized- THE TIME TO ANSWER THE CALL IS NOW!
And once I made that decision⦠everything else fell perfectly into place. That was how I knew.
In a snap of a finger, I found someone to sublease my place, sub my weekly yoga class, and take over my nannying job.
Within a matter of 48 hours, my car was packed to the brim & I was on the road.
Everywhere I went, the stars were aligning.
From being taken in by a Native American couple and experiencing a sweat lodge with them (on my bucket list for the trip)
To finding another ex-Ohian to be the only other human on a hike in Southern California and having a DAY together
To my skydiving license level being off limits at Yosemite Skydiving, but it just so happened their owners used to work at my home drop zone in Ohio so they let me jump anyways
To Yosemite National Park being βclosedβ to non-reservations when I got there, but my skydiving friends getting me inβ¦
Magic was happening all around me; and it became very clear that every experience and human I was seeking was waiting for me along the way- I just had to say yes.
β¦Despite all of my fears, doubts, & uncertainties- I followed my heart. & I couldnβt be happier for it- my life has changed so much since then
Within the span of 2 months, I traveled cross-country twice, slept in 5 different states, put 6,408.7 miles on my car, met so many beautiful, amazing people, but most of all- met MYSELF (and all of those DREAMS, DOUBTS, FEARS & UNCERTAINTIES- HEAD ON)β¦ realizing I was made up of much more than I ever couldβve knownβ¦
