One more paycheck and I'm gone

I always wanted to do a trip more than a couple of weeks. I managed to arrange money this year to go, I was very bored in work and a good friend is coming with me.
That my friend and I don't get along well.
Everyone was very supportive. They think it's great that I'm going and most of them would like to have the opportunity and courage to leave everything and go away.
Winged it a lot
Basic clothes for cold and hot weather, sleeping bag, head phones, Lonely Planet books and other literature, camera, ash-tray, diary, documents and money.
I'll learn how to get free from situations I had never face. I don't think It will change me as a person but I hope I will find out what I want to do with the rest of my life.
It's going to be an alive movie.
In two weeks you can't disconnect from your world and way of life.
In Portugal is that almost anyone has done it so people don't speak about it at all.
I love especially to talk with people with different mentalities, see nature with different sights and aspects and different foods and tastes!
