Hard Time letting Go

The Jeff Buckley song “Last Goodbye” seems to be my theme song lately. The line “I’ll would only make you cry… this is our last goodbye.” Is something that I feel more and more lately.

I have been meeting soo many interesting and beautiful people over the last few months that I am really finding it hard letting go. I just wish I had a huge bus and could take everyone along with me and never have to say that word “Goodbye”.

The first 4 years of my intense traveling I didn’t make as many friends. I guess I wasn’t immersing myself into a country or culture like I am now. I feel if you’re open to meeting people and whiling to except new things, there seems to be people everywhere that are whiling to share a little part of their life with you. For the first time in my life I am starting to feel connected, I am now a part of the fabric called life, I am life, I’m not sitting on the sidelines as a spectator watching people live their lives… I am blazing my own trail and making the best of the short time I have here. It feels strange to say, but if I died tomorrow I would die a happy young man… I have done everything I have ever wanted to and more. I am now apart of this world, and when I go I will leave apart of me with everyone I have touched.

It’s sad, but I guess if I only have a short time with someone, I can always say well at least I had the time at all. Instead of wanting more, I’m glad to have meet you and will take a part of you with me forever!

I am Ready!

It has been over a week since my tired and tattered corpse limped into Istanbul. After 4 months, 15 countries and endless partying…. my body was dead! I was in need of a major detox/recharge.

Istanbul has turned out to be the prefect solution. I have spent the last week doing absolutely nothing other then getting a tan and going to the dentist. It’s amazing how just sitting in a place for a week and doing nothing can make such a difference in someone’s mental and physical wellbeing.

A week later and probably a few pounds fatter thanks to the Iskender, I feel 100% again and ready for what lies ahead. The “Summer of Love Tour” has officially come to an end and now it’s time for the next adventure.

I fly to Spain on Monday where I will meet up with my business partner to do the unthinkable and drive from Spain to South Africa! We are doing a scout for our up and coming adventure race “World Cup Trek”. The route will take us down the west coast of Africa for the next 8 weeks.

But for now all I can say is, “I am ready!”
