🏖️ Be a tourist in your own backyard: find joy now! (full video inside 📽️)
It is easy to take your life for granted, especially when you have lived in the same location for many years. When I visit my friends that live in different cities, they often play tourist with me. I am always surprised when my friends say to me, “this is my first time exploring this area, and I’ve lived here my whole life.”
You don’t always have to travel elsewhere to explore and find different cultures or have interesting experiences. It might just be in your backyard. I live in the great state of California, but this was not always the case. Not originally being from California has given me a fresh perspective and curious heart.
Every winter I buy a season pass so I can ski up in the beautiful mountains in lake Tahoe. I enjoy visiting San Francisco in the summer to escape the Sacramento heat. I enjoy attending art walks, playing at the park with my friends and attending craft fairs in Sacramento (where I currently live). I like to pretend that I’m on vacation every day!
As a result, I’ve connected with my local community and explored and participated in many of the wonderful events Sacramento has to offer. I hope today’s post inspires you to take a look at your current surroundings and go out and explore.
Here is a video of @acromott and I spending time to explore Sacramento the acrobatic way.
WOW!
aww thanks for the resteem! I really appreciate it :)
My pleasure! Fun stuff!
thank you! :)
I live in Los Angeles and I feel the same as you about CA. Your post has inspired me to explore Sacramento, since I have not yet had that adventure. Thank you.
PS I recently watched another of @acromott 's videos and I was worried for his safety (;o) but it looks like you have the grace to pull it off. Nice video!
aww thanks for your awesome comment! When you visit Sacramento, reach out to @acromott and me... we are always looking to make new friends! I love visiting LA... so much to do there.
That's awesome that you saw one of @acromott's videos. He is a talented acrobat and I'm pretty lucky to get the opportunity to do acroyoga with him. :) Safety first. always!
same for you guys when you visit LA. I teach martial arts here and while it's not acrobatics, some of what we do can be quite challenging in that way.
What kind of martial arts? I use to be in taekwondo! Yellow belt green stripe... didn't make it that far because I got allergic to the mats there. But I loved the sport.
I teach Bujinkan. Here is a link to our dojo page : http://www.arizonabujinkan.org/santamonica/
Do you have a video of Bujinkan. I've never heard of that type of movement. That's pretty cool your in Santa Monica. The acro kids like to play on that beach on the greens!
I have a whole channel, here is one example:
WOW this is super amazing. It reminds me of they type of movement my friends all really enjoy. Being able to adapt and react helps keep you safe! I can't believe you rolled down the stairs so gracefully. :)
Exploring and adventures with you are always so fun.
:)
thanks mister! :) More to come.
Great travel
thank you! :)
Funny 👍
thanks!
Great acro yoga video! I need a partner lol
hehe. Most cities have acroyoga groups you can join on FB. Check it out, it's a lot of fun!
This is so true, alot of people never explore there surroundings but it depends on where u live though, thanks for posting
This is true... some place can be easier to explore than others. I always find exploring out in nature to be really fun!
Beautiful! This looks like a great place to go!:) Please check my little journey that I made soon. I hope you enjoy my photos. @nakedchef89

That's the truth, when you resident in a particular place for long, you will be taking for granted.
