Expect good things. . We’ve been looking forward to meeting Noami & Dustin (aka @irietoaurora ) for what feels like forever. For around a year, we’ve been chatting on Instagram, offering each other encouragement in our eco-endeavors, cheering each other on in our van exploits, lusting after food snaps we share, and generally enjoying each other’s content. So, we expected to enjoy their company. . But, when we *finally* met them in person at @theoutbound Bear Valley Pursuit event this past weekend, it was like reuniting with long-lost friends. Embracing and laughing as they shared the van troubles that delayed their arrival, we immediately felt at ease in their presence. . Beyond their wonderful company, Dustin & Noami have reminded us just how important physical human connection is. The internet may have facilitated our connection but spending time together opened deep lines of communication. We learned amazing things about these two eco-crusaders including Dustin’s Royal lineage and Noami’s incredible determination to escape a challenging childhood and create the life she knew she deserved. . Amanda and I are so lucky to have crossed paths with you two. Our interaction serves as a reminder: the world can be a dark place. Look for the light. Find the ones that inspire you, connect with them and let your collective light shine a little brighter with each new connection you make. . Make this world a brighter place. These two sure as hell are doing just that. (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmjbR4Ul6E7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bvq0w4ewowt4 -- source link
