I always aspired to see the world, and after years of fighting this urge because of security and waiting for the perfect moment; I finally broke free and gave into it.
I started traveling back in 2013 after I lost my job due to lack of work. I sold all of my possessions and left on a bicycle tour with only the items on my back and in my panniers. I traveled 2,600 miles over two months, cycling through 13 states, before hitting the great state of Colorado. I fell in love with the scenery, found a job, and ended up working and skiing there for eight months.
When my job ended I went on my first hitch hiking adventure from Breckenridge, CO to St. George, Utah. The ability to be this free is exhilarating. I plan on really getting into the culture and lifestyle after I get back into the USA. I ended up making a connection in Colorado for work in New York as a parachute packer for a skydiving company. Over the course of the summer I obtained my Basic "A" skydiving license and enough money to fund a trip to Chengdu, China, which is where I'm headed in the coming weeks.
I have found many inspirations from users on this site and StP. I recently made the decision to focus my life purely on my next adventure. I don't mind busting my ass for a few months each year working to travel the rest of it.
