The Melancholy Camper

Tales of momentary excursions out from under the rock.

Welcome! I'm Kim.

I'm an avid camper/hiker who loves nature and the outdoors. I also suffer from bouts of depression and anxiety. Every day is a struggle to find a balance between those opposing elements in my life.

This blog highlights my efforts and serves to inspire and connect with others like me.

Won't you join me on my journey?
