Northeast America sola trip – a 62-year-old Israeli/ American camping journey through nine American and Canadian states, with a focus on Nature, culture and self management. Prologue provides easy navigational tips and a “warning”.
From flipping through the world atlas on my grandmother’s couch to the banks of the St. Lawrence. Why Canada, the lure of the North and genreal musings about the benefits of traveling.
Preparing for a camping trip : Practical info (and some philosophical musings) about “things”: technical details – equipment, physical preparation, gadgets (from “electrical spoons” to GPS). Traveling is always very personal, but I hope other people could find useful information for their own journeys as well.
Some general thoughts about my trip, including how the mode of traveling defines the experience, Israeli vs. American campgrounds, being alone, safety, money, empowerment, politics, the social scene, temperatures, beauty, and why I wrote this journal.
A Turkish Airlines transatlantic flight from Tel Aviv started my trip with a colorful stop in Istanbul ,followed by breathtaking views over Greenland at low altitude. The eventful high-contrast day ended in the quietude and tranquility of the Maine woods.
A small wooden house by a quaint Maine pond became my home away from home, Maine. Swimming, kayaking, sailing, picking blueberries and preparing for my upcoming sola camping trip in the north, I received the best possible hospitality and started to get acquianted with the natural beauty of the northeast.
