One of Many

"He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have." - Socrates (Bustin it Old-School)

This is my first post of hopefully much more to come. I am starting this to document my travels in Europe beginning in July, to keep family and friends (and whoever else) updated, and to make sure that I get the most out of my trip. Welcome to my public journal.

Today I bought my ticket to Malaga, Spain. Let the journey begin.

For family, and anyone else who happens to care. Yes, I am trying to sell (almost) everything. Everything major, I want to get rid of. And, yes, partially this is for money - I haven't found my sugar mama quite yet. However, it's also a step in a new direction. I've had stuff, I'm tired of stuff. I want experiences and language and adventure. Stuff just makes me sit on my ass and watch HDTV or play video games or pay for gas and insurance. Bahh! I'm over it. I want make moments that matter - and I want to tell you about them, too.

Second. My stuff will be found on craigslist soon. I will post a link just in case anyone is interested in any of it. I'm more than a little embarrassed to admit that relinquishing my TV and video games will probably be one of the harder losses, but the hardest is sure to be my guitar. Of course I can buy a new guitar one day, but haecceity is a strong force (and a big, cool, new word you should look up). Still, it's more important to me that I realize my life is separate from what I have.

Third. Here are my options:
1. WWOOF - I would find Organic Farms across Europe and work on them for a few weeks to a month.
2. Workaway - There are awesome people on here who will put you up for a certain amount of time if you work for them. There are families who just want you to help around the house and babysit or teach their kids your language, there are farmers, ranches, you name it. This is looking like my favorite option.
3. Bike Tour - I think I could manage to tour around on my bike while moving between these programs on here. Definitely want to try to add some biking/hiking no matter what.

Any suggestions?
