Ending the Blog

Hi everyone,

I started this blog almost exactly six months ago. It has covered a few months of pre-trip planning and angst, my actual travel adventures, and then some post-mortem reviews. At this point, there isn’t much more to say, and I think it is time to bring closure to the write-up. I had marked October 1 as my “return to normal life” date, the day where I begin to actively job hunt, to work part-time for my former employer to support me while job-hunting, to begin a strict diet and exercise regime, to do all those new year’s resolutions we tell ourselves we will do, but quite often never get around to.

I had a fantastic time, and I encourage anyone who can make the time and apply the resources to have an adventure like this should do so. Don’t let age, gender, or financial state discourage you, I met people of all walks of life in all circumstances traveling and getting a new perspective on life. We only live once, what a shame to not see what the world has to offer!

For future travelers reading this blog, feel free to contact me through the blog and I’ll answer what questions I can, and feel free of course to contribute comments. For my fan base (and I am still shocked when my friends and family tell me how they actually regularly followed my adventures!), thanks so much for reading and commenting, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

    I’m leaving for East Africa in about a week and still have some planning and packing to do (clearly not the planner that you are). Although your trip was a few years ago it has been really helpful. Your backpack looks pretty awesome I was wondering what brand it is and how big it is. I was looking at a 50 litre bag. Im going for 4 months.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Jaime, it was an REI brand which is no longer available, but here are the specs: http://www.rei.com/REI-Outlet/product/745609

    Good luck on your trip!
