Sole Sister Spotlight: This American Girl Camille
Monday, March 17, 2014
It's rare to find bloggers who bare their soul in their writing. That's why it felt like a fresh sip of coconut juice when I stumbled on this article: You Are Where You Need to Be. Camille's poetry inspired style of writing, complemented with her vivid photography, can really make you close all those other windows and just give her your full attention. And you will soon realize that her every word speaks to you.
What's surprising is that it's not a travel blog. Well, not exactly. Here's my quick chat with her:
When did you start a travel lifestyle?
When I was laid off from my job, like so many people in the world right now, I finally realized it was time to make a big change. A dear friend of mine, food blogger Andie Mitchell, had decided to spend three months in Costa Rica and I asked to tag along. February 2nd, 2012 we made the journey to Costa Rica's South Caribbean and my life has never been the same since.
Do you miss your old life? What do you miss most?
Honestly I don't miss my old life at all. Except when I'm sick. Then I miss sleeping in my big white bed and having my kitchen with everything I need and my mom close by to take care of me.
There are moments when I miss drinking a fancy cocktail, wearing real clothes, and styling my hair, but after about a day I'm over it. I know now what makes me happy and it has nothing to do with material things.
Another serious sacrifice most travelers make when they live on the road is their health. Travel is unbelievably hard on your body and I've endured many bouts of food poisoning over the last two years. My legs have become roadmaps with scars telling stories of the places I've been. My health is very important to me and when I feel ill, I lose my fire to keep going. It's been a project and passion of mine for the last nine months to find a way to stay healthy while living as a nomad and share it with my readers. I haven't mastered this yet, but I'm dedicated to getting there eventually.
What's craziest travel tale you'll ever tell your grand kids decades from now?
When I hiked through the Corcovado National Park with a 71 year old tour guide and waded across a river that was full of crocodiles and bull sharks. Read the full story here.
Do you think you'll ever put down that backpack and settle down somewhere?
I don't think I'll ever lose my passion for travel or adventure, but one day I would like to have a place to call home and a partner to share my life with. Maybe even kids. At this point I can imagine having a few home bases around the world and the freedom and flexibility to travel when I wish.
There are so many women, and people for that matter, who inspire me that I could never talk about all of them here. My mother and my sister are my biggest sources of inspiration with their incredible capacity to love and their constant support. I think my sister might be the most patient person on the planet and I have so much to learn in that regard.
As far as bloggers go, my dear friend Andie Mitchell of Can You Stay for Dinner is a rockstar blogger, an incredible woman, and the reason I started traveling in the first place. Marthe Hagen from The Freedom Experiment is another role model for me with a huge global following and an even bigger heart. A blogger who I don't know personally, but who I have a huge girl crush on is cancer survivor and natural health advocate Jess Ainscough aka The Wellness Warrior.
I find love on the road constantly. It's there every time I look out the window of an airplane, when I run recklessly into the ocean, when I taste something I can't pronounce the name of, when I sit in silence while the sun sets, and whenever I exchange a smile with someone new.
Good problem solving skills, a strong immune system, a great deal of flexibility, an outgoing personality, and an adventurous spirit will certainly make life on the road easier. But all you really need is the passion to see the world and the willingness to do whatever it takes to make it happen.
What motivates you to keep traveling?
On the road, even in the hard times, I feel so unbelievably alive. That is my biggest motivation in continuing this journey. When I witness my tremendous growth as a result of these experiences and my readers tell me that I inspire them, I know that I'm on the right path.

ReplyDeleteI actually turn into a full on psychotic depressive mess if I lack routine so I'm impressed that without it you're happy even 50% of the time. That being said I don't have hair that looks as cute as yours in the above picture, a snuggly boy or that sweet little baby puppy. So there's that.- Alat Pengecil Perut

I’ve had this panel saw for about 2 years, after several years and I can say with certainty that the Sawtrax is the better panel saw. It’s a little more powerful than other one – not enough to matter in everyday woodshop use, but the power difference is noticeable that panel saw can easily cut thick hardwood. And now I realized that about reliability good product best value for money go for it…… Panel Saw

ReplyDeleteI had a strange electrical problem to solve after a remodel. I put it off for several years because I thought it was too complex. The American Electric Jacksonville team worked systematically to get to the source of the problem. I am very pleased to have use of ALL my lights and outlets now! This was the second time Lore took care of a problem for me... I highly recommend American Electric Jacksonville.
