I won’t be home for a very very long time. A few months shy of my 28th birthday I decided that it was time to explore the world. I leave behind friends, family, and people I’ve gotten close to in the last few years.

My journey takes me to strange places – well not that strange (parts of asia) and then off to Australia. I leave behind too many memories and it’s hard not to feel a little overwhelmed and a little sad.

The highlight of the day proved to be the after party drinks that I had with a few co-workers at Nick and Stef’s.

What makes a man give up a perfectly good Thanksgiving Dinner with family and friends? The chance at adventure and the opportunity to reach out and kiss the sky! It started off with an article about the kids at google installing a zipline. A few hours later and a dozen phonecalls away – the beginnings of a roadtrip to Northern California to ride the Zipline into infamy. A few days later the notion of Sky Diving fell into place. With that our roadtrip was born.
