OK, so I'm writing a 'blog'. Through this I hope to keep in touch with family and friends around the world. Hopefully I'll have the time, energy and creativity to update it regularly. It's the first time I will try to keep a journal, and I'm surely not the best writer out there.
Basically, I want to travel the world. It's funny, I've been dreaming, thinking and planning this trip for so long now, and I don't even know the exact date I'll go or where. At one point, I had a structured route with planned destinations and times spent in each location. It's completely trashed, again, because every place I read about is a place I need to see.
But Greg, how long will you be gone? At one point I thought until just after new years. Or my birthday. Or 1 year. Or when I run out of money. I've decided to be just as flexible with when I'll be back as where I'm going- have to see what happens.
The only thing I do know is that I can't postpone this trip. That's the easiest thing to do. It's never the right time to go- it's easy to find excuses, semi-commitments, dangers, financial worries, career considerations. Shouldn't you think about your career and get a job, you're 22 man. The list goes on. Now, I just need to buy a backpack...
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” - St. Augustine
