Congratz on 4 years. Your has been (and will continue to be) an amazing journey. I read that you are in Kentucky. If you don’t mind me throwing this out there, I live in KY and if you’re in the Western area near Paducah, stop by Madisonville. You’d be an interesting person to talk to. Take care and safe journey.

Congratulations on 4 years. 9 years ago I traded travel for a cube because I decided I needed some roots. Now I am thinking on giving up the cube and going again. But its scary as you know. yet, I know from past life its not really, you would thing having done it before would make it easier.

Greg, I’m white haired, not yet drooling too much. Can still motate without a walker, and have travelled around the world a few times. But, I must say, reading your travel experiences and excitement about them get me fired up all over again. Happy trails forever.

Greg,

I toast to you, your courage, the dreams you shared with us, the inspiration you provided, the kindnesses you showed and to those tireless legs and wandering mind. May always be a road … on which you find yourself at home.

Thank you!

Greg,

I can honestly say that I had great reservation about your decision at the time …. How could someone so freakin smart and fortunate be willing to “Chuck it All” for a trip to some 3rd world country where the plumbing was marginal or not available. Where you had to sleep in strangers houses or in somewhat questionable conditions. Where the food was not certified by the FDA !!!! lol

But you know … now I tell friends and sometimes even strangers about my “little cousin” (I’m older than you ..you’ll always be my Little Cousin) who travels the world and writes about the people places and adventures that you’ve had. I sometimes elude to the exotic situations and not to mention Women that you write about and somehow live vicariously through you … SO … I guess I’m trying to say I’m proud of you and your bravery to say “I’m going to do this and make it work for me”!!
Thanks for being you …..
Love ya Brother ….

Greg, what a heartfelt post. I have a feeling my experience might be similar – just a glimmer of being trapped in an airless office, completing tasks I care nothing about for the rest of my life? Ugh, it’s horrifying. Lean, but fulfilling days on the road sounds heavenly to me.

Greg,

You’ve helped many people realize their dreams as well. For those, like myself, that haven’t really started the journey; I now know it’s possible.

I was stuck in a very bad situation in Iowa when I first stumbled upon your writing. A short time later I packed a duffel bag and went an Interstate on-ramp. I hitch hiked west in hopes of making some money to travel with. I had a great experience on the way out here. I ended up landing the best job I’ve ever had, but don’t worry my dream is still alive.

I know now that I can live life how I want to, travel the world, see things other people only imagine, and do it without being rich.

You helped give me hope.
For this I thank you.

Congratulations on 4 years!
