I experienced absolute freedom for the first time in my life last summer. Before this, I had remained in the same place for too long. And this was translating to my mental space as well. I felt stuck. I knew I needed a change.

That's when I decided to do something drastic; I bought a roof-top tent, and booked it up the Pacific Coast Highway in my Ford Escape Hybrid with my girlfriend, Kaila. She is a musician/artist/healer and I work remotely as a Data Scientist, so with a little help from our Starlink Satellite we were able to live and work remotely off-grid where the ocean meets the forests in the Pacific Northwest. We spent almost two months on the road, and we could have gone longer.

This experience was life-changing. Kaila was able to create content with the most beautiful backdrops imaginable, and my office view was spectacular and ever-changing. We were reminded of the importance of connecting with nature, and of the fact that we humans are ourselves a part of nature. This is easy to forget when living city life, but even easier to remember when living on the road.

This was a summer full of love, adventure, and wealth - a summer like no other.
