I second the above comment! In my area, there are hiking groups on Facebook. Do you know if anything like that exists by you?
This was how I was in college (and a bit now I just don’t get to be outside much anymore with two little ones at least in the way I was before) I used to bring a bag with me and listen to music, I loved hammocking which was not doing much but at least I was doing something, I would color or draw or journal while out in one of my hiking areas. It’s hard to not have anyone to share the joy of being in nature with but I learned to find more enjoyment in how quiet it was to be alone and actually fully experience nature.
@Maisey I'm with you on that 10000%. I have no problem entertaining myself outside all day I just wish I didn't always have to do it alone. I hope you can get to a point of being able to get out more again!
@Rachel I'm not really sure I don't use social media very well 😄😄 I wish you were closer !
@Nikelle I know some really awesome forests too! Dang-it
I actually love nature walks. I really do enjoy them
Look on ig, Facebook and Eventbrite for outdoorsy groups. Post on Nextdoor. I hope you find others and a good journal for the intermittent time before you find nature pairs. Good luck!
Totally feel you! I could've written this myself 💜
Have you looked into master naturalist programs for your state? My state has a program like that and it’s a great way to get to know people in a facilitated way
I absolutely feel you ❤️ ugh I wish we lived closer!! But if you ever want to show off your foraging hauls we could be texting pen pals!!
I completely understand this! I’m the same, my man comes on walks/hikes because he know I like it but he doesn’t enjoy it or live in the moment the way I do so it’s not equally shared! Sounds as if there are a few of us women who are scattered but would love to come together!
Wish you were closer by, I’d be right there with you talking and hugging to the trees
