This week on the Blogger Network, we’re reposting an article that demonstrates you don’t need a smartphone or internet connection to enjoy the hills…
Emily Woodhouse runs the blog Travelling Lines, all about hiking, mountaineering, backpacking, cycling, and more. In her latest post, Emily explains how – and more importantly why – she travels without a smartphone or internet connection of any kind:
