One of the coolest trips I ever went on was one to an eco-lodge a few years ago. The eco lodge was located in a remote site plus was self sustained. The owners put a lot of toil into building the space out of the materials that were available. We were easily excited to stay at the eco-lodge plus knew that my good friend and I would not have electricity for a few afternoons. Being off the grid is typically good for a reset for those who live a busy life. The only thing I was sad about was knowing that there were no fans or AC. The lack of A/C in the eco lodge was not something that went lightly. A lot of people said that they had a difficult time sleeping plus adapting, but that in the end, it was all worth it. It’s essentially camping in the jungle plus the lack of A/C can be a alarming thought. At first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do the eco-lodge. There is one thing that I worry about when it comes to not having A/C plus that is sleeping. I find it difficult to fall asleep without the A/C or at least a fan blowing. I know that a few afternoons of not having it would make me care about it more when I got back to normal AC. I am not sad about being too hot, I am mostly sad about losing sleep due to lack of AC.
