Life pleasures come in all different forms.

For us, these pleasures involve a VW van, the pacific ocean, and camping above the clouds.

We forget how far our reach is. Voluntarily getting stuck in our bubbles that we forget that there is something beyond it. Letting us think that something out of our daily routine is oh so incapable, allowing us to diminish the possibilities of escaping.

Yet on the coast of California there has never been a better time to escape past our bubbles. All you need is a mode of transportation, a couple boards, and a few friends you don’t mind sleeping with on the side of the road.

Let this serve a reminder to get out and enjoy all there is in the world.
