Weekend Inspiration – Buddymoon and The Oregon Trail

Posted on the 18 August 2021 by Hiiker

COVID-19 has completely changed life as we know it. The worldwide pandemic has effected each and everyone of us. (MAYBE LESS IMPORTANTS)? April has however brought us many of us unseasonably beautiful weather, making it harder than ever to stay inside and off the trails. But never fear, we can hike when this passes.

In the mean time, many of us now have weekends that are filled with boredom and looking longingly out the window. Here at HiiKER we have decided to bring you some weekend homework (in the form of a movie), what have you, to keep you busy.

Buddymoon

Buddymoon is an independent comedy based in Portland, Oregon. David is a former child actor, who has recently been left by his fiancé, just a week before his wedding. David now finds himself in a depressed state with his already booked honeymoon approaching. Luckily for David, his best friend, Flula, has the idea that they will make the trip into a “buddymoon.” The two embark on a week-long journey following in the footsteps of the famous explorers, Merryweither Lewis and Clark. The movie draws many comparisons between the modern journey David and Flula are on, and the explorers journey. hike following the Oregon Trail.
