Into the unknown, from rock and roll to round the world. One man, One world, and a One-way ticket. A man searching for nothing and yet finding, well, finding something anyway.

About this blog

My first trip abroad, so I figure I'll make it a doozy. I will try to document all I can for the folks back home, wherever your home might be.

If you are so inclined, you may click on "support my travels" above, as the more I am able to see, the more I can describe for you.

But otherwise, just read and enjoy!
