I will be 40 years old this year and I have decided that I need to take the trip of my life time before I get to old and regret not ever doing it. I have traveled to Greece (was there almost 3 months) and I have been to Spain. I have been to most of the states in the US and of course Canada.

I love to hike and camp and just generally enjoy my surroundings. In my previous travels I have met a lot of interesting people and I would say that this is somewhat of a driving force behind the idea of traveling to me. You never know who you are going to meet and what interesting stories you may hear. I like to plan but not to a tee, because I have learned in my previous excursions that they never really work out anyway. I am more of a general direction guy.

I am currently trying to finish a small cabin type of house that I have been building.

I am currently working on the inside the house priming the walls preparing them to be painted. Once I can get this accomplished I plan to sell it. After this happens I want to begin my travels.

As to where I want to go I haven't got all of that worked out yet. I want to travel throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand and maybe a couple of the Asian countries like Thailand. My initial instinct is to start in Finland and work my towards the UK and then south.

Hopefully through creating this blog some people out there can give me ideas and recommendations before I embark upon this quest.
