Red Boots Roamancing Christmas

Sometimes the best adventures are found close to home and the greatest love is found in giving to others by rolling up your sleeves and getting some dishpan hands. That is exactly what I discovered this Christmas with Mom’s and my adventure to a local kitchen serving up meals to others.

Amazing how much more enjoyable doing dishes are, when helping out others.

 

Nothing quite like cooking with others.

 

Met some pretty amazing people today!

 

This is one adventure I need to take more often than just Christmas.

 

Pleased to know of have an enthusiastic companion for this adventure in the future.

 

Thanks to Brie’s red boots that did the walking, and couldn’t help but bring a smile to everyone’s face.

Merry Christmas everyone from the whole Roamancing gang!

About Erica Hargreave

Erica Hargreave is the co-founder and editor-in-chief for Roamancing. Her vision for Roamancing is in sharing the love and beauty in this world of ours, as we explore different cultures. Over the years, Erica has won awards internationally for her writing, podcasting, and filmmaking.

As a traveller, Erica was fortunate to grow up in parks, learning about the natural and cultural history of places from her mom, and accompanying her dad on work trips abroad, where she'd explore the area on her own, taking her dad back to her favourite places once he was done his meetings. These days, she can often be found road tripping and hiking with her cat!

      Thanks Christy! It was just as awesome a thing for Mom and I. Dad died this year and we needed a new tradition.
