There have been times when I've done remarkably stupid things, and surprisingly only a fraction of those times were during my teenage years.
Up until the age of 30 I was fairly focused with a concrete goal in mind. With the exception of a few minor bumps it was a pretty straight road to The Perfect Life (TM). I had everything I ever wanted, I had it all.
Except for happiness.
I needed a new plan.
Now and then I think about what coincidences in life that might have brought me to this point, to this challenge I am now facing. Imagine all the things that had to occur, not only in my life but in everybody else's, to arrange it so that I end up crossing Australia on a longboard.
Why am I doing this?
Well, the answer to that question is Love and Respect, Passion and a craving for Adventure, but that is beside the point.
I'm insane, that's the point.

We know you are Anders! That's why you deserve this too long vacation so much.
ReplyDeleteI love to follow your adventures and I'm positive that you will make this one too.
Have a nice trip and come back safe, we will definitely miss you at work.
Love, Kalle
