It’s my career
No
Not sure – thinking a shortened RTW 3-4 months. Will arrive in Germany in preparation for World Cup 2006 in June
Always dreamed of it. I am at the optimal point in my life to do it.
Getting sick in some far away place without access to healthcare.
Yes – they love the idea
Just Enough
A good camera and a guitar are my most indispensible items for travel.
I think a trip of this size will fill me with an immeasurable amount of self-confidence.
I am ready to open my mind, body, and soul to adventure.
Because living for a significant amount of time with minimal resources and no security blanket, should bring out the survival instincts and distills what is truly essential.
Not sure yet
Meeting people, testing myself socially, seeing uncommon beauty, learning about the world I live in.
