I am thinking of Morocco or India next. I'm not sure of when those locations are on your itinerary, but let me know. Doing some video work with you in Central America would be cool. I've done Mexico, Belize and Guatemala, but I'd love to do even more of Mexico again.
Congratulations on 2 years! Congratulations on making the choices you made for your future. I am excited to hear what awaits you in the future and to live vicariously through you. If you are in Canada in any of your travels - Toronto to be exact - please feel free to contact me!
I am sure that your plan of taking the time to digest your travels is a good one and I can't wait to read your book! You are an inspiration and I admire all you have accomplished and will accomplish!
I loved your comment about seeing others flipping out over the little things. When I introduced my boyfriend (now husband) to the world of long-term travel and backpacking during our career break, I knew the moment he was sucked in. We were using the internet in Thailand and another customer was flipping out over the fact his work emails didn't go through - as if yelling at the poor employee could really control the quality of the internet service. On top of the matter, he was being culturally-insensitive.
The irony of it was here we were in this beautiful beach community and this guy wasn't able to relax and enjoy it - he was so focused on work. This was the role my boyfriend could have easily fallen into, but when he turned to me and said "Sucker", I knew he was won over to the idea of long-term travel.
Can't wait to follow your continued journey and if your travels ever bring you to New York City, let me know!
That's a nice record. Spoke with a lady on #itb09 who is planning to do the same and said would point her to this blog...just back home and have to grind all the stuff in my bags.
On another tag. I'm sure you have been following the #twitchhiker. Give it a thought for the remainder of your current trip. Twitter your way around.
Succes!

Since we are into our 3rd year of traveling the world as a family, I can really relate! We have no plans on stopping either but I know well how much harder it is to produce while traveling. Try adding a kid to the mix! Ha!
We have more than enough great photos, videos, stories that we could not move for decades and never run out of material! Good luck with your continuing plans.Don't miss Europe, Turkey and Morocco, one could easily stay decades and not see it all and it is so rich with history, beautiful places and people.
We visited the US for the first time last fall after 2 1/2 years of world traveling on 4 continents ( to visit the disadvantaged school kids that we take with us virtually) & were surprised by the cultural shock, so be prepared. It feels really strange to be in a place where everyone speaks English and to be paying in dollars! Ha!
We actually feel more at home on the road now, although we too will eventually do a tour of the US. I have been to most of the 50 states & once took 6 months traveling the US in my 20's via fiat sports car & tent, but I want to share it with my family! Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone etc deserve lots of time! I also think Big Sur is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, so don't miss it! As always, see them off season and away from the crowds to get full value.
Keep traveling, keep enjoying!
It's very inspiring.
Stay well!
Congrats on your anniversary. I just wanted to say, I agree with you the world is boring, TV doesn't want boring, suburbia doesn't want boring just as much as the urbanites. It is people that make life interesting. Paradise is not a place, it is a state of mind. Happy travels my friend.
Gary, my round the world trip was not as long as yours, but I relate to everything you say here. I definitely want to see more of the USA and North America.
I absolutely feel that nothing is impossible after traveling around with my world on my back for months at a time. And I struggle with trying to figure out what to do next. But everything will work itself out.
Happy Travels,
Priyank
I just found your blog and I'll be reading your archives in the days to come! I've been out of the U.S. for the last 18 months now and the traveling has been quite an experience. My purpose was to do a lot of rock climbing on different crags all over Europe. Well, there are quite a lot of rocks here! Looking forward to reading more about your next trip!
Are you not planning on spending a lot of time in Africa? One of my sister's best friends is a geologist in South Africa, and if you want, I'm sure I can get you her info. My sister went there last year for 10 days and they toured all over.
Gotta run. Be safe and have fun.
Stay overseas. The United States is collapsing. The cultural collapse has been supplemented by an economic collapse which will be worse than the great depression of 1929-1939.
