Camping has recently become one of my favourite things to do. Over the past 5 years, I’ve gathered the little Freeman family and headed out bush for some outdoor fun! The nature. The sun.

I’ve come to really cherish the disconnect from being ‘online’ 24-7 and simply spe...

I’m so passionate about this that I created an online program o...
