The list below is the “List of Destiny.” The list below is also subject to change. It’s basically a list of goals and a relative itinerary. I fully accept that there will be places I want to visit, but for whatever reasons, it just won’t happen. There will be places I go that I never expected. All experiences will shape me along the way. Who knows, I could do this for a few weeks, hate it and head home! I could run out of money, run out of time, or run into an opportunity that stops me in my tracks. I won’t know if I don’t go and to quote one of my all-time favorite movies (Wonder Woman), “Who will I be if I stay?”
I do have plans to visit friends and family along the way. A couple friends are even planning to fly out and meet up with me for certain portions of the trip! To the friends and family I haven’t had a chance to plan/speak with; please let me know if I’ll be in your general location and you want to hang out! To the fellow travelers; if you have tips, suggestions, contacts, or destination recommendations along my route, please comment on this post or message me!

Cara! The boat is going straight to SD now (instead of spending 2 months in Cabo) so we will definitely be there when you come through!
