An ode to longer days, blue skies and springtime. Rolling back full circle to well-trodden soil, local ways and scenic routes.
Seasonal offerings come courtesy of Morgan Chinn and Alyssa Lysset on a PNW-based amble in Trail Talks Episode 2, a Suzuki Jimny that’s had the full camper re-fit (small but mighty), and a Roamers Collective mixtape to accompany the lot: Vol 4 | Sounds of Escapism.
1. Trail Talks: Community, Connections & Chasing the Stoke
“We’re all so over-stimulated and then you come out here… and all of that just stops.”
Episode 2 takes us to the foothills and winding trails of the PNW. Forest Park, Portland, if we had to pin it. The conversation touches on the need for more female representation in outdoor pursuits, backing yourself, and not being afraid to fall.
2. Pocket Guide: 7 Epic Trail Running Routes Across Europe
From the rugged peaks of the French Pyrenees to the tree-lined routes of the Black Forest, the Italian Dolomites to Scotland’s West Highland Way. In no rush to return to reality, thoughts wandering with every step and inhale. The sights, sounds and smells of the open trail snaking away to the horizon line. Does it get any better than this?
3. Morning Rituals: @rawig_ontheroad & her Jimny
“There’s nothing more peaceful than a morning in nature. Making myself a coffee, wrapping up warm and listening to the birdsong - it’s the best way to start the day.”
A fully custom Suzuki Jimny fit-out, with pull-out kitchenette, bed and Black Forest backdrop… we couldn’t have asked for more from our newest Creator Crew member, Verena. It’s the microcamper of dreams with minimal headroom and bundles of fun. @rawig_ontheroad, deserving of a spot on your feed.
4. The Good Trade: How to Wander
“I had no plans, no reservations, just my wandering self setting out to see what I could. And it was perfect.”
Musings on wandering, why you should and losing yourself in the process. Editorial Director at The Good Trade, Emily McGowan, writes with love and care on a subject dear to our nomad hearts. Where others wander, we roam - slow going when going’s good.
5. Julius Roberts: The Art of Sandwich Making
Julius reaches for Courgette, garlic, basil and prosciutto cotto with burrata and artichoke paste in a toasted ciabatta... pretty fancy. You can choose your own toppings, it’s more just an excuse to give sandwiches some love. A roamer’s pick-me-up, a staple of spring escapism wrapped up and chucked in a pack.
Vol. 04 | Sounds Of Escapism
