Tiny Adventures + Video: Our Winter Vacation in N. Florida

We took a lil’ break from our tiny cottage this holiday to visit our family in my childhood home of Gainesville, Florida.

It’d been 2+ years since I’d be home, as we’ve been trying to cut back on air travel due to its high carbon footprint.

Rather than doing my usual daily posts while on the trip, I wanted to simply enjoy being with everyone, and to then create a miniature video journal and blog post from our experiences afterwards.

While there are admittedly no tangible “takeaways” in this post, I do hope that the visuals (which feature abundant live oaks, Spanish moss, animals, rainy skies and brilliant sunshine,) serve as a reminder of why the health of this beautiful planet is worth fighting for— in ways both grand and small— every day.
