Taste-test After thinking about it for quite some time, I am finally "stepping into the void". Starting in April, I will be departing my everyday life and going into explore mode for a year. For now, I am planning to be in Eastern Europe for the summer '07, and southeast Asia for the winter of '08. But, of course, things could change. Please bookmark this site and join me in my adventure.

Concentrating in my favorite room

Concentrating in my favorite room

So I've officially quit my job as of last Friday.  It actually doesn't feel much different, but I know that it's a big deal in terms of my environment. I keep having emotional swings where I feel sad and sometimes a bit guilty about doing what I'm doing; almost like it felt when I would sneak out of church to play video games at my friends house.  I also wonder why I'm leaving my life in Portland when everything is going so well -- friends, sister, Sauvie island, Alberta Arts district, pets, house coming together, just found an awesome barber shop called Bishops.  Of course, every time i start really thinking about all the possibilities of my life for the next year, I start to swing back to the upside. I know it will be a great thing.

Finally, the experience has begun.  I leave for Dublin in one week.

That is interesting how similar are trips are. I've always felt that anyone can see impressive sights, but it is the journey that makes the trip. My guess is that your planning is based on a similar feeling. Anyways, I'll be sure to follow along and see how you progress. You must be getting excited..

Hi Uncle Dan. So, you're going to England. My teacher's husband is from England. You might end up wearing a hairdo that looks like a macaroni penguin because Mrs. Blevins told me that in England people wear hairdo's that look like the macaroni penguin. Will you send me a letter about Europe?
Rock on,
Mr. Macaroni Penguin
