Our latest announcement involves an epic road trip and a leap of faith on a dream long held. Nicole, our Principal, will be packing her bags — and her trusty Subaru — and heading East! It has been a dream of hers to live and work in another country at least once a year, for a couple/few months. “Travel is consistently a sure shot for recharging my creative juices,” Nicole says. After a few false starts during the past few years, something “right” all came together this year to allow her to make it happen. So…
HERE’S THE PLAN:
- Friday, April 20 >> Nicole will depart for Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada — via car (and with her cat and her dog in tow)!
- Therefore, Rock+Feather’s office will be closed Friday, April 20 through Sunday, May 6. If all goes well, Nicole will be back in action on Monday, May 7.
- So far, her planned route looks something like this itinerary.
- Nicole will try out the world of Couchsurfing for the first time, as well as visit friends and family along the way.
- Once in Nova Scotia, Nicole will be operating Rock+Feather as usual, but from Halifax. There is even a Hub there in Halifax! (Many of you may know that Nicole works from the San Francisco Hub Soma a couple days a week.)
- Mid- to late August >> Nicole will return to the city by the Bay!
- The goal for the return trip is to come the northern route, through Canada, dropping down in Glacier National Park and then… who knows?!
During Nicole’s absence, we will have a couple colleagues here in the Bay Area that will be able to meet in person, if the need should arise. Otherwise, Nicole will operate business as usual via Skype and email.
We look forward to sharing more details as they come up, as well as this epic journey with all of you via Nicole’s personal blog (TBA).
