Hey folks. I think I just committed a message board misdemeanor by posting a question before intro'ing myself - sorry!
Anyway I'm Sarah and my boyfriend and I are glassblowers from the Hudson Valley. (Boyfriend is a second-gen glass artist and pretty well-known in this general area. If you're from here you might have met him as a teenager, he used to hitchhike in between Poughkeepsie and Woodstock, he had long hair put up in cute li'l Princess Leia buns.) I grew up in the Philly area and know some kids from this kinda community there, as well as Woodstockers.
I've spent a bunch of time abroad, working (as opposed to touristing) - New Zealand for two years, England for one, Wales for one, France for a summer. Also stints in Ireland and Spain. I would mostly do temp work for a few months, then travel, then more temp work. The USA has always been the holy grail for me mostly because "everyone" SWEAAAARS it's impossible to hitch here and that if you do you face certain rape, murder or both.
I plan on going solo for the most part (basically just east to west, no major set schedule or route), but anyone I meet along the way who seems super-cool I am totally down to travel with. Smoking? Cool! 420? Cool! I don't personally do either but I have spent most of my life around those who do, so. All good.
I guess obligatory disclaimer: I am bipolar, I have been stable for years, and I am organized enough to not run out of meds no matter where I am. LIFE SKILLS!
