Why do this?
- Because I want to;
- Because it brings back memories of some interesting and exciting times in my life; and
- Because I hope you will be interested.
The opportunity to do something wonderful arose. I did it. This is the result.
I’ve got 5,000 words ready to publish and have only managed to get the point where I have bought the motorcycle to go on my trip. No, I am not verbose. I’m retelling some history which will give you some insight into why I did this as well as what I did.
I wasn’t saving lives. I wasn’t doing something for anyone else. I was doing this for me and me alone. There might be a post on the drivers of the why, on how I was lucky enough to be able to take a trip like this, but there might not be. Suffice it to say I had a window of opportunity. A break before going back to work and I wanted it to be memorable. It was indeed memorable, and for mostly good reasons.
