What the First Day of My RTW Trip was Like
It was May 12th, 2009 and I was about to embark on a round-the-world trip with my first stop being Beijing, China.
Motivation
It’s Okay To Not Know What You’re Doing
I taught English in Xi’an, China and I had no idea what I was doing. I walked into the university in China with almost nothing prepared. I just learned as I went along and got better at teaching as time went on.
Not Feeling Crazy
“My hope is that you or someone out there see’s my comment and relates to how I feel….I need to relate to people to feel grounded, and sane.”
How I Overcame My Fear
Today’s post is a special one. This one is coming from my 14 year old brother. He writes about his experience canoeing and how he overcame his fears.
How I Helped My Little Brother Conquer His Fears
We canoed down rapids in Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier outside of Quebec City. He has a strong fear of oceans and rivers.
I’m Not On Vacation
Three years ago today I left for Beijing, China to start my trip. Since then, I’ve been to 18 countries and lived at least a month in 5 of them. I saved roughly $15,000 before the start of the trip and have not worked in the US since then.
