I took a trip to Jasper last weekend with a few friends to go camping at Whistlers campground. I had no technology all weekend. No cell phone, no Facebook, no email, no tv. Nothing. It was absolutely awesome. Now, I know technology has it’s place in society, but we can get so caught up in the convenience we experience in our day-to-day lives that we can forget how important time away can be. We didn’t hunt for our food or anything like that, but cooking a meal over a fire seemed to satisfy us so much more than a microwave dinner or a pizza that was delivered to our house. Instead of going to watch a movie or playing Xbox, we went cliff jumping and swimming at an amazing lake tucked back in the trees.

The weekend reminded me how important it is to leave civilization once in a while and see what’s out there.

Go on, get out there and explore
