EARLY ACCESS // mountains
Added 2022-05-05 08:00:08 +0000 UTCNext month I’m going on vacation to the Alps. This is always something I look forward to because I live in a super flat area of Europe, and I just crave being around mountains sometimes. It gives that feeling of being small and surrounded by majestic landscapes! I had to draw some mountains in anticipation of the trip. These are based on photos I took on a trip to Canada back in 2014.

If you feel comfortable answering, I am wondering if you own your own car or if you rent one when you travel. We're trying to break down a budget as we consider the move. We drove an electric car for the first time ever on our trip to the Netherlands, and it was SUCH a good experience. But I also don't see an electric car being the best tool to get to the Alps, and that is definitely one of my personal goals if we make the move. :)

2022-05-06 23:11:01 +0000 UTCWe're actually in the middle of deciding if we're going to move to the Netherlands or not, and my West Coast US self is a bit hung up on there being no mountains. But if I could get a mountain fix a couple times a year... I can see my soul being ok. There were a lot of things I loved about the Netherlands on my recent trip, the top one being how easy it is to walk everywhere. :)

2022-05-05 08:48:19 +0000 UTCOhhhh they're amazing! I love the one with the cars, it makes me think of concept art for animated films hehe. And I agree with the craving for mountains - I went hiking in Norway a few years ago and it just made all my worries feel so small, so silly, so perfectly insignificant. It was such an awesome feeling.
