The adventure continues…
Notes, my 2003 AT hiking buddy, has left for Korea to teach English for a year, and his blog is beautiful! World travelers, take note.
A sample:
"Another beautiful day in San Francisco flew by my seat on the BART train to SFO. I was on my own in a fashion I was completely unaccustomed to.
Up until now I had never been anywhere my immediate family or friends could get to me without too much trouble. Even while I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2003 I wasn’t more than a $150 Airtran flight away from help. Korea is twelve hours away from Atlanta, exactly half the distance around the earth. No one was going to be able to come to my aid without a lot of hassle. My isolation sat in the seat next to me and put it’s cold arm affectionately around my shoulder."
