a year in the same world

I've spent the last 365 days in America. Josephine picked me up in the Austin airport one year ago today. Granted, I had spent the past 20ish hours on the road in the States, but I consider my touchdown in Austin to be when I finally circumnavigated the world.

A lot has happened this year, is anything else possible in a year?

I'm not happy being so sedimentary. I pick up hitch hikers as often as I can because it gives me someone to be jealous of. The other day a couple of dudes were hitching "as far west as we can get". I've never been so jealous. They left home with $28 bucks 44 days ago and haven't had to spend any of it. They're up. People have given them hundreds of dollars in cash and even more in food, lodging and rides. At one point we were talking and one of the guys said "it changes your life when you realize you can..." and before he could finish by himself all three of us said "you can go WHERE EVER YOU WANT AND DO ANYTHING!"

That's the ticket. But that's my ticket. Most people have other ideal lives. Mine is living in a state where I know I can do anything and go anywhere.

So I'm issuing a call for like a minded person. I want a travel partner for my next adventure.

Qualifications

-passport with at least 4 free pages

-a big, sturdy backpack

-must know at least one song by heart

-map literacy

I don't care where we go, and I'm not sure when it will be. But I'm sure* it will be in less than 2 years, but in more than 6 months.

Don't get me wrong, life is good. I'm happy to be around my family and my friends. But I was happier in the world, traveling. Who is coming with me?
