PANDEMIC HIGHWAY
I am sure that hindsight is, and should always be, 20/20.
Weird to write that In the middle of January, 2021 based on the year we all just had. Thankfully, hindsight really is [the year] 2020 and we all have a better, new, more refreshed year to look forward to.
Engine13 was conceived in a pandemic - at a time where the uncertainty of the world made it a scary place. People were hunkered down in their homes mildly expecting the world to burn around them. In many cases, it did. Our new reality is so much different than just a year ago.
People were alone in isolation, quarantining from the world and the virus. Losing their mind. I get it..
In March 2020 I was alone in my NYC apartment and didn’t know what to expect in the coming months. I knew I couldn’t just sit there and go through the motions - wake up, walk the dog, eat breakfast, work for a few hours, eat lunch, work a few more hours, walk the dog again, maybe ride my Kickr / Peloton.. turn on the TV, watch a show.. eat something.. and then pass out only to wake up the next morning and do it again. Until the weekend where I do the same thing except I don’t work all day [just a few hours here and there].
I couldn’t do it. I could not just sit there. That’s not living to me.
I made one of the best decisions of my life and I hit the road. Working remote from an RV Camper. Spending time in the mountains and soaking up life rather than letting my situation suck the life out of me.
Engine13 was conceived in a pandemic - while sitting around a campfire after a long day of working remote.
I spent 6 months on the road in that RV. My goal is to empower you to do something similar - take pics like the one you see below.. All while socially distancing and being responsible.
Did you hit the road in 2020?
