Before it’s too late
When this post is being published, I am sitting on a plane towards the first destination of my four and a half month long journey around the world. Doing something like this is a dream, that I have had for as long as I can remember. In some periods of my life, it has been very clear and concrete, and in other periods, it has been vague and almost forgotten. But is has always been there, and this day I know, that I am doing the right thing. This is what I want to do, this is where I want to be. This is what I want to do with my life.
I will leave with a track from my favorite movie of all time, “Into the Wild”. It is a beautiful film with a beautiful soundtrack, and together with a very tragic event happening around the time I watched this, it really gave me the push I needed to make this dream reality. We have one life and one chance, that not everyone takes before it suddenly one day, out of the blue, can be too late.
The secret of freedom is courage.”
Thucydides (471 BC – 400 BC)

have a good trip and post frequently!
you are not just living your own dream, but also the dream of what I’m sure are many, many others (including me).
I hope it turns out just the way you want it to, and I’m looking forward to find out ho you fare on your travels.
the Kauai gera looks awesome – but their stuff always does (I know the guey & am a prod owner of Kauai Gi as well).
good luck!

Best of luck with your trip and great inspiration from the movie “into the wild” (just don’t burn your money and cut your master/visa card) I’m sure your will experience many great things and meet a lot of new friends out there (in the wild) I’m glad you actually bought a sleeping bag, but for now it seems like you not going to use it – but I’m quite sure it will come in handy when your need it:-)
