Better than a Staycation

It seems everywhere I look, be it magazine covers to online headliners, people are sticking close to home this summer season. Jazzing up the idea with terms like "Staycations" trying to find inspiration to tour your hometown, or at least someplace plane ticket free. Blame it on the economy and the way of the changing world- it's hard to spend money these days without guilt- for everyone else I guess. Meaning, it's always hard for me to spend money- I don't know what it is? A running joke now with my boyfriend as I carry around a pair of pants for 30 minutes while out shopping, get so close to the counter to pay and then somehow talk myself out of the purchase. "I have enough pants, don't I? I work hard for the money that I do have and want to spend it on things I can enjoy, like traveling, wine and cheese, rather than a cute little halter?! Please ladies keep reading...That being established I've decide to share with you my secrets on how I travel, green-minded and economically, and really get to explore and enjoy. Greenstream Gourmet- Goes camping!! I want to share how easy it is to find affordable adventure all across this amazing country. How fun it can be to throw together amazing campfire dinners inspired by the local specialties. As long as you start out with the must have items packed tightly in your outdoor pantry- campfire cooking can be some of the most gourmet meals you'll ever have the guts to put together. It's all about breathing that fresh air, taking time to hike around, explore, and marvel at the something that is greater than all of us put together. Then dig in to our bountiful riches and digest under the stars. I bet you'll find it hard to spend money on hotels again after a peaceful nights sleep in the great outdoors. No one is claiming to be Davey Crockett here either- don't get it twisted. We are real, easy going people who happen to love the outdoors and also love the finer things in the gourmet world. It's easy and most of all really FUN. My first camping trip out west absolutely changed my life for the better. Now I am going to show you how to still get away without blowing your budget. Lucky enough to live in the US, our National Parks are some of the most coveted natural areas in the world. It's time to think creatively, outdoorsy and get moving- your best vacation yet is waiting for you! Stay tuned....
