It’s now seven days from my trip. I have most of my gear sans a few random items that I plan to pick up this weekend. It’s odd sense that I have now. I know that I stand on the cusp of something fantastic, and I want to know what the end product will be of my experience. How will I be different upon my return. How will I have bettered myself.
And so I spend a lot of time contemplating this as if I can capture that mind set now. Or I think that perhaps I will be the same person and I knew who I was all along. It will be interesting to be ripped from your world and permanently displaced to a lifestyle and location that is unnatural and new. A month is a perfect amount of time because it’s not a new course, but it’s long enough to indent your life in a way that your course could change upon your return.
I’m not sure and that’s where the excitement is. As much as possible we have lent this trip to being unplanned and instead be whisked through our journey by happenstance and indiscretion. I’m hoping that the freedom will make the experience more organic. I’ve also maybe somewhat selfishly put David in charge o f the details and I don’t know much more than our general path. Everything will be new and adventurous to me.
I plan on documenting my travels in pen and hopefully daily. Subsequently upon my return I will type them out and post them on this website. I’m standing on the edge of clip ready to jump and I don’t know what’s below me or how tall the cliff is; and thus how I will come out the other side.
