This picture is unrelated to this post I just kinda like it.
Welcome to twenty twenty four! I am actually really excited for this year. Things feel hopeful to me again and I have a lot of cool plans for this year already. I only made two resolutions this year and they are very specific.
Blogging
Over the years I have gotten more and more frustrated with social media and in 2024 I pretty much decided to call it quits. I deactivated my IG completely. I am keeping my Facebook for marketplace and to connect with some very specific friends but I removed the apps from my devices and only use it on the web. I don’t have twitter or TikTok anymore. Threads is still up in the air because I like some aspects of it, but I think it will probably end up gone too.
In stead I am going to focus my energy on blogging this year. Blogging is more permanent, more personal, and more of a conversation. Also I enjoy it and it doesn’t make me angry. :) My goal is to post at least once a week during 2024. I plan to post a bunch of photos, some thoughts and ideas, short films, and even inspiration from other sources.
I hope you will follow along and I would love to follow you. Drop a link to your blog in the comments so I can add it to my reader!
Camping
My other goal in 2024 is to do a LOT more camping. I want more adventures in my life, even micro-adventures. I have a couple of bigger trips planned later in the year, but to make sure I just get out there, I am going to try to spend at least one night camping every month of 2024.
For Christmas I got a CVT Roof Top Tent. I have wanted one of these ever since I first found out they existed. I love camping but I hate the tediousness of setting up and tearing down camp. Being able to have shelter ready to sleep in in just a few minutes makes last minute camping trips a lot more fun and doable. I mounted it to my little trailer and will soon have a 270 awning mounted as well. I can hook up and go and that is exactly what I want. I plan to make little films of each camping trip and will post plenty of pictures as well.
Here is to more adventure in 2024! What do you have planned for the new year?
