It would've been refreshing if she hadn't tried to make it into a large, drawn-out essay and had just said "been there, done that, got bitten by mosquitoes, saw a moose one time, that was cool" rather than opening with an attention-grabbing anecdote of an eagle attack that turned out to be 3 grumpy owls, going off on tangents about running through the wilderness to get away from an ex boyfriend, her spiritual connection with the breeze at the end of her stay when the world seemed to be "alive with so much dance." It also wouldn't have been that interesting, to me at least.
