Traveling

"i have a dream of travelling around the globe until my money runs out!
Might start in the Us of A! green rapids :)
WHAt do you think of my wild outrageous plan?
i need to work my arse of to get away first!
tell me how your trip affected you?"


Traveling without money is one of the most romantic things I've experienced But it is far from glamorous as some books and travel guides may suggest. As money begins to dwindle the logical mind begins to hyperventilate. Naturally humans want comfort but comfort is evolutions enemy. Soon money is completely absent. One may still continue to dig for salvation from a dollar by collecting cans, working on fruit farms, or trying to sell belongings. But sometimes after a while one might realize that spending all day collecting cans just to purchase a gyro isn't exactly what traveling is about. But looking back on it you realize it is because its about realizations and learning.
You close your eyes at day break and take a deep breath and realize you really have no current obligations besides keeping yourself alive. And really you don't need much at all to survive. These waves of beautiful color and emotion zap to the back of your eyelids forming pictures incomprehendable to creature form but for some how these mouthless shapeless things are singing to you. You open your eyes again finally and the sun has set. You remember you are more adventuress in the night. CARPE NOCTURNE! You walk towards the nearest gas station with your thumb out. Some old guy pulls up in a blue dodge pick-up truck. The moonglow hit his eyes through the haze of a swisher-sweet cigar and assure you he is an ally. You hope in the passenger seat and he offers you peanut m&m's and this is where the REAL adventure begins. Your off the map, no money, no obligations, you are in the hands of the world. You trust yourself fully while still being completely dependent on the world (this is true love). You learn to feel the intentions of each human being just by breathing on them. You learn that your spine knows more then your head. And its not a matter of food and water its more of a matter of keeping your grip on reality when you are oozing through the cracks of society.
Traveling, you meet a lot of people. Your relationship will never be the same as to the people you have at home, internal desolation is a huge battle. As you escape deep relationships and real human contact. You may think you don't need people but in time find that you appreciate good relationships more that ever when you are without them. You may call home a couple times but you are living in a different realm, in a different dimension almost and your friends at home can't 'relate to your thoughts... this was the scariest part of my travels

Really I don't know what to say to you or how to say it about what you will learn. It's all about what you allow yourself to learn. You definitely won't return the same person. My friends all recognize that i have change significantly since my travels.
you really realize what the definition of "essentials" is.

Each experience is unique to each person. All you need is a plane ticket. Some people actually hitch hike on boats if you wanted to by-pass saving money for an airplane. Anything is possible if you believe it is.

the world will take care of you if you let it.

I think your idea is fantastic. But don't go too fast. stay for a while and enjoy each place.

actually don't listen to anything i have to say, you will figure it all out for yourself.
