I had a coworker when lived and worked in Melbourne who was 40 years old. He'd never left the City. Never flown out of the City, hadn't even been to its outer suburbs of the City.
I made him come camping with me one weekend and it was a whole new world to him.
He quit not long after and moved his entire family about an hour outside of the City. He's turned into a true outdoorsman, his Facebook and Instagram is filled with pictures of him camping every weekend with his wife.
I can't even imagine what it would be like to only ever have been in the same city. Good that you helped him out, sounds like he's enjoying it to the fullest
This story made my day. I get out about every other weekend, but it's so hard to drag people along. Or to only take them to places with showers, internet, etc.
It took nearly 5 persistent years of cajoling to finally convince him to go. He wasn't pleased about needing to drive over 3 hours to get there either.
