Took off from Columbus late April of this year to spread the wings and make sure I hadn't turned soft. I was ready for a new kind of adventure, and hollyyyyy shit did I find what I was looking for, and then some. I was smitten. Addicted. Couldn't get enough 
Met up with the kind of spirits who make you excited to take on the day (WHATS UP @kaichulita, @Viking_Adventurer, @JimH1991 ), and they exposed me to the unlimited and awesome possibilities that an open road has to offer.
So, just like any thoroughly-inspired tenderfooted traveler would do when they're just realizing the world is one giant playground and life is but an endless recess...I stopped traveling and bunkered down in Florida for a bit. But only cause I need to make some moves and save the dough for some real travel.
Need to acquire a passport, vehicle, some "oh fuck" funds, a camera, and a bunch of other stuff. Planning to take off from Cape Coral, FL to Fairbanks, AK...Then shoot down the west coast to Puerto Williams, Chile. I managed to find the kind of work that'll let me save, and it looks like I should be set to travel come late spring/early summer of next year. I wanna do it right, ya know? Found some work as a professional mover -- it's tough as hell, but it pays pretty well. Enough to not stress over getting by and having a little bit of fun in the meantime.
Its tough, though, I'll tell ya that. From traveling the open road and only worrying about what's in front of you...To being surrounded by folk who don't understand you (Nor do they care to!), bills that have to be met, and future problems/responsibility that ya gotta worry about. Selling precious time for financial gain is the norm here, and squandering your dreams to be "sensible" seems to be acceptable here.
After traveling the open road, headed to wherever, bound by nothing, and only at the mercy of my most compelling whim...This house feels like nothing more than a human sized kennel that comes with a 2 car garage and a cute white fence. It feels funny that something as arbitrary as a property line has so much power!
But it isn't all that bad, I just like to bitch. Just reached the first major milestone and purchased a laptop...got a decent internet connection to boot. The rough times are over, and I'm still adjusting to the fact lol. Now that I'm back with you guys and can be in the company of those who understand this life, the party can go on! You don't know how refreshing it is, truly.
But yeah! I've been staring at this laptop screen for like 2 hours, overwhelmed by the amount of potential and opportunity that this fucking thing has. Didn't have a clue what to do with the damn thing, so I figured I'd give ya guys a little update on how things have been!
Its been tough,
But it's getting much better
I'll cya guys around!
