inspiration

here is a quote from a book i just read that pretty much sums up why i am travelling, and especially why i am travelling the way i am, a little bit differently than most people do:

"this is what it means to be an adventurer in our day: to give up creature comforts of the mind, to realize possibilities of imagination. Because everything around us says no you cannot do this, you cannot live without that, nothing is useful unless it's in service to money, to gain, to stability.

the adventurer gives in to tides of chaos, trusts the world to support her -- and in doing so turns her back on the fear and obedience she has been taught. she rejects the indoctrination of impossibility.

my adventure is a struggle for freedom."
