Hello reader. Why have you come here? It's been more than a year and a Half since I returned from my travels. This blog was the documentation of seven months of what would turn into a nearly year long trip that began in August 2008. I stopped posting here after I made it once around the world.
The journey was far from over when the writing stopped, though. I went back to Europe for a little while and bartended in one of the Greek Islands for a few weeks. I reconnected with old travel mates and made some new ones. Then I turned around and decided to go the other way with a cross country road trip across the United States. What I learned from that six week driving journey was how much our own country offers, if only we'd get outside once and a while and go see it.
The entire year's journey I can say now, over a year later, was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I learned more in that year than at any other time in my life. ALl it created in me was the desire to see more and to do more.
Here for you are some links to some of my favorite entries, photos and memories from the trip of a lifetime. Enjoy. And safe travels.
