This trip was special, as I decided to go solo and push the boundaries of my comfort. And to be honest, I was actually pretty adapt to being alone for the week. It's something that not everyone loves, but for someone who craves alone time, it was the perfect opportunity.
How often can you run around, on your own time, on your own schedule? Make up your itinerary AFTER you land in Phoenix? Decide to do everything in reverse because you just booked a raft trip on the Colorado River? Meet some strangers and make new friends? Dislocate your shoulder with said new friends? It's almost laughable, but spontaneity and freedom are some of my core values. I thrive in these environments, truly living for the moment.
