When we think of rewilding, we might picture vast landscapes being restored to their natural state—wolves returning to forests, wetlands filling again with life.

A recent study found that our connection to nature has declined by 60% in the past 200 years. That number is staggering.

I remember a morning on the road when the map looked more like a question mark than a plan. The evening before, I had pulled into a quiet patch of pine forest. There was no cell service, no signal—just the hum of the wind and the occasional crackle of pinecones under paw (my dogs, always…

Let me start by saying: I’m not anti-tech. I rely on Wi-Fi to work from the road, connect with clients, and upload these blog posts from remote corners of Europe.But I’ve learned that staying connected doesn’t mean I have to be constantly available.
