I tried something different last week: I took a camping trip without my phone. I left it at home and navigated roads my memory or chance or by asking people, I listened to the radio, I listened to the stream I camped next to, I took long dog walks, it was refreshing.
We don’t live in a culture of sharing everything, we live in a culture of always sharing. We share what’s good and what we want people to see. And how are we balancing that? There’s always a time to speak, and a time to listen; a time to give, and a time to take; a time to hold on, and a time to let go.
This was one of the few photos I took on that trip. Could you do it? Take a trip without your phone? 📵

sugarshaner I never meant for it to happen, but I am addicted to my phone. I'm so lost as to how to break out of this cycle that involves constantly needing my questions answered in two seconds. I'll be going on a trip to Ireland with my husband in July, and I was just wondering if I can do it with my data turned off, just using this thing to take pictures and otherwise printing out receipts, tickets and maps. I will try to work up to it in the next few months by first restricting my use to wifi. I'm starting now. Thanks for the push.

cvillegrrrl Yes. Each type of experience is valuable, isn’t it? I spent last week in the Hudson Valley with my son visiting colleges. I had to take my phone to stay connected with family but suddenly decided to rest—not take photos, minimally check email. I thought I would miss the photographs. I didn’t. I just absorbed and took everything in-the time and space with my son. It was perfect. I took one photo. Of my son.

thewestcoastlady No, but more out of safety than for a need to be on my phone. Last camping trip I needed the maps and to be able to communicate with others in case of an emergency, but I didn’t actually post anything or check anything until I got back, preferring to just hang out with my companions, trekking and hiking and bathing in the stream and just connecting with nature.

eudesprogman I NEVER take my phone to ride a bike, walk with my B.C.s Buzz and Laila, go to shows-movies, clubs and eat out of the house. Never!!! We are Not virtual machines, we need real contact, physical, to appreciate nature and create new bonds of friendship. A big hug my beloved freind Momo !!

seanaleebee It’s a funny thing, not sure if I could. Something we used to take for granted (being untethered) we now can’t imagine being without. For me though it feels less about sharing and more about being able to connect with my kids.

fakepersona I've actually decided to not use my phone on the subway/bus anymore. At least not to endlessly scroll. Just trying to be present, people watch & maybe write a poem or two.
