About this blog

Hello, and welcome to my new life as a professional vagabond! Starting Oct 1, 2003 I'll be traveling through some of the warmer regions of the globe, hoping to see incredible sights, meet fascinating people, enjoy new experiences, and maybe even learn something about myself and the rest of the world. I intend to update this journal along the way, so have fun reading it, and by all means come join me on the road! -Tim
