Window-Swap.com Calm

Window-Swap.com continues to be a magical reprieve from the difficulties of the world. It’s so simple. People show videos of what it looks like out the window of their home. This morning I was welcomed into someone’s home in Brazil, heard birds chirping in Russia, felt the buzz of street traffic in Palestine, and whiled away the time listening to cicadas in Texas. The most magical thing is that in all these videos, nothing happens.
The site is free. I’ve chipped into their “buy me a coffee” jar.

Camping & Hiking Resources

We visited Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks over spring break, taking a Moterra luxury camper van.

Here are some camping & hiking resources we used
Gypsy Audio Tours – We really enjoyed hearing the audio tours while driving through the park, even multiple times.
National Park Service individual park guides, good for finding the main attractions
– National Park Rangers. Go to the Information Booth at the entrance to the park and ask questions of these flat-hatted fonts of information and good vibes
Recreation.gov find national park campgrounds and activities
National Park Service app, find National Parks

We heard about these resources and will use them next time
All Trails find trails
The Dyrt find campgrounds
