Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

My answer would have to be mountains, because I am a person that loves to explore the land and breathe in the beauty. I’ve been to the beach before in California as well as in Oahu, Hawaii, but I would probably prefer the Hawaii beach to any other beach. Mountains on the other hand, there is so many places to hike, discover things like waterfalls, creeks, lakes, streams. Plus there are many animals that you can find in the mountains and I also feel like HOME when I am in the forest or mountains. I have a really great connection with Mother Earth that I am happiest in the middle of nowhere. Like I tell everyone, I am a nomad and love to travel to new places. Not sure how I got this way, but most of my childhood consisted of running around where I live here in New Mexico. Of course this is when I start asking myself “how they coped with their child and the crazy shit that they do?”

I might as well say that I live in the mountains, because I am living in an elevation that would seem more mountainous than just a normal city. The elevation here is about 7250 feet above sea level. Also when it gets more and more into Fall, we usually go wood hauling and that is pretty close to where I live. A place called Chuska mountains, we would usually look for Oak, but also Cedar. Sometimes we would get Birch, but overall my life revolves around living in a place that is isolated, off the beaten path, and the last place most people would not want to go. Overall the mountain provides medicine as well. What do you prefer? Why?
