In my head I always want to go to these places but when i get there I just want to go home. I would like to see these places etheraly without my body being there to be inconvenienced by anything outside my safe concrete containment zone.
Imo I’ve definitely felt the same way. The way I combated it was spending less time on screens in general. It feels like your brain is rewired to appreciate the real world more.
couldnt be me. i could stare at a leaf for hours, it is such a foreign object
It's loud, it's misty, I'm kinda cold but it's too hot in the sun, the water is too cold to go in, there's bugs crawling on me when I sit on a rock, the only bathroom is a drop toilet, I'm sweaty and gritty and tired and now it's an hour drive home after this two hour hike back to the car.
The best way around this is to stay at a base camp with amenities nearby. Camp 4 in Yosemite was perfect for this
Depending on how cold it is, it's an all of us problem when I get hypothermia
Unironically how I feel whenever I'm forced to "travel" to another country for "vacation" or go hiking at some "scenic" mountain.
Idk that waterfall looks awesome. If it's summer and it's allowed, it looks like a nice place to go for a swim
That reminds me of a place I hiked to in Hawaii back when I lived there. I remember the waterfall landed on a lot of rocks before filtering down into the lake, caught a taste of it and it was better than any bottled water I've ever had. 10/10 highly recommend.
