Hey everyone. I just wanted to apologize for not posting very regularly to the blog for this past month. I’ve been busy trying to settle up my life here in New York City before I start this around the world trip. So basically that means I’ve been taking a lot of naps, and waiting until the very last minute to run around the city like a chicken without a head frantically trying to get everything I need to do done.

Well the day is here, my apartment is gone, my stuff is in storage, and today is my last day in New York City before I start this trip. I woke up with a knot in my stomach, I’m without a doubt a bit sad, but I’m ready to get to work. And the fact that my apartment was broken into on my last day having it (I’ll tell you the story later, it’s a great one..) really has made it easier for me to leave this city that I love so much, and the place I have made my home for the past five years.

I guess change always happen before you’re ready for it.

So as many of you know, the first part of this trip will be a solo cross country road trip across the Southern part of the United States for one month. I’ve had a lot of requests to visit more rural cities, so I’m going to give it to you. Here’s my route:

NYC> DC > Raleigh > Charlotte > Sevierville, TN > Louisville, KY > Nashville, TN > Memphis, TN > Cleveland, MS > Little Rock, AR > Dalls, TX > Albuquerque, NM > Phoenix, AZ > Salt Lake City, UT > Boise, ID > Portland, OR

So if I could ask a favor of you, if you could all collectively send me some positive energy for a safe trip, that’d be great 🙂 And of course, follow me along for the ride. It should be a good one.

All my love,

Kevin
