The short version
- Put all my stuff in storage and visit friends in the US that I haven’t seen in years
- Fly to Paris in time for the Fête de la Musique because I went once a long time ago and it was an amazing experience and I’ve wanted to return ever since. I also needed a start date so I figured summer solstice was a great place to begin a major life change/journey.
- Visit friends in a bunch of European countries that I haven’t seen in years including Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany
- Go to other places in Europe… because I can
- Take the Trans Siberian train from Moscow to Beijing.. because I always wanted to check it out and because I hate the idea of flying for 20+hours to get to that part of the world and always said I’d rather take the train… and because it’s cool to say “trans siberian” a lot.
- Wander around China for a bit … because… who the hell doesn’t once they actually get there?
- Go to Bangkok because one of my best friends lives there now and because it’s THAILAND.
- Find a place to do metal work in Thailand
- See if I can make stuff along the way and document it… because it’s fun and it gives me some focus and… branding branding branding
- after that???? not a clue other than honing welding skills, making stuff in metal, maybe finding a home somewhere on this planet that works for me and finding a way to sell the things I make so I don’t have to go back to working in an office…. ever…. ever… again.
