Lately, I've noticed that time does not pass as slowly as it once did. Days become mere hours in my memories, with nothing exceptional to remember them by. They fade and slowly disappear like foam on the beach, only to be replaced by similar and equally meaningless fare.
Well, to hell with that! Time to get out.
Travel is something most of us want but can't seem to make time for. It always seems too lofty or too expensive. You'll need to save for years before you can travel the way you'd like. You'll never be free to do it. Your job is too important.
Rubbish.
I've decided that years of my life working in retail is not how I intend to live; and with the economy the way it is, it's looking more and more like the degree I'm spending all my time, money, and effort on, is becoming nothing more than a piece of paper. So, what's a guy to do? Leave it. That's right, you heard me. It's time I did what I wanted to do, not what everyone else wants me to do, ya dig?
I'm terrible at this thing called life. I can't seem to save money, I hate working jobs for more than a few months and I've grown increasingly discontent with acquiring comforts and living life on easy mode. Where's the challenge? Where's the adventure?
This blog is going to be my journal, my chronicling of my journey. My plan is to circumnavigate the world with only my laptop, basic supplies and what little money I could get from selling all of my possessions. I will use couchsurfing, work-a-way and rideshare to increase my chances of accomplishing my lofty goal. Along the way, I'll be filming my experience and posting it on here for all to see. I hope to expose you to some incredible things and to join me as I meet the people of this crazy world, including YOU!
So join me, as I try to do, quite possibly, the stupidest idea I've ever conceived. It promises to be a most interesting ride!
