This is pretty cool, I've never had an "official" blog page to myself before and I have to say I'm most impressed. Firstly, I'd like to say that I am honored to be a BNA member and hope that my travels will inspire and educate. Secondly, I am very happy to say that I am doing pretty well with my plans on world travel. I have sold all but a few of my large posessions and am planning on selling the car for a mere 400 bucks soon. Besides that, I really own only a select amount of things. No furniture, no appliances, just my comp, clothes, books, and gear. Minimalistic living (although my amount of minimalism is quite novice) is a really cool way to go about your life. I feel it clears out a lot of things that distract us and take us away from living our lives to the fullest. Thirdly, I am really psyched about my upcoming trip to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. And of course, this is the only reason I started this web-blog in the first place. I plan on not going by any plans, having no rhyme or reason behind my choices, and completely playing everything by ear the 30 days I have to enjoy in Europe. So, stay tuned and hear about how bad my German is when I practice it this June in Europa.

Tschuss,
Jimmy
