After the brutality of my last post….

I sat over the weekend (I wrote the previous post mid last week) and devised a plan to change my view and potentially my attitude towards life.

Some will tear at this plan for thinking it’s running away from my problem…I consider it a seachange…literally.

I have decide that in 2011, I will travel the entire the year. I will switch of my phone and leave it at home, all commitments to radio, friendships and everything else will be severed. I will be alone, I will have a car and I will a decent some of money as start up capital. I will then get in my car and I will drive wherever my heart contents and all over this great, big continent of ours (if you’re an Australian reading this).

What i’ll need for such a massive trip of life affirming value is (if you leave comments feel free to add stuff):

A decent reliable car

A large lump sum of money to get across the nullabour

An RSA Certifcate…well i’ll need to work, why not in a country town bar…I bet, I can pour a good beer.

My Wits

Clothing

Toiletries

A Sattelite Phone…apparantly there about as cheap as mobiles now?

My wallet

My sense of adventure

I’ll only tell local authorties where I plan to go (just in case I break down or meet up with the dude from Wolfe Creek), then the rest is completely up to me and how I feel on the day. I’ll work in small town, meet locals, make friends, possibly take passengers along with me (for a price or them chipping in for fuel), stay in backpacker hostels and just generally become a drifter/traveller.

The ultimate would be to do this after a lotto win…don’t think 30 million dollars wouldnt fund the trip of a lifetime you wouldnt need more than a two-hundred hundred grand really).

Think of it this way…on a lotto win sum of cash…i’d disappear for 5 years. I’d take in Europe, The US, Africa and South America (the last two would be the last legs when I knew what the fuck I was doing).

So thats the plan…i have details and travel direction…but thats for me to know…and thats it.

2011 will be the best year of my life.
