A little (more) background

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.
