If the bills were paid and I had no family, I would ride across the US on a motorcycle. With the family, I would drive. ---

I don’t know if I would stay in the US. I’d be tempted to fly somewhere that’s cheap as shit to live on USD’s when you get there. 6 months in Thailand off of $3k is definitely possible. ---

$5k would easily get you to and from Europe. Then just hitchhike around. ---

I’d be tempted to fly somewhere that’s cheap as shit to live on USD’s when you get there. 6 months in Thailand off of $3k is definitely possible. My thoughts exactly. Euro trip or Asia. You’ll have plenty of time to see your own country through the years. Explore the world a bit. ---

3000miles roughly (idk what it really is) divided by 10hrs a day x 15mph = 20 days…i think it actually took 26 and there were a couple days of just rest…knees were toast. ---

One of my sister-in-law’s ex-boyfriends said he was going to backpack from Cairo to Cape Town after he graduated. I didn’t bother explaining to him why that was a stupid idea. Thank God she broke up with that idiot. ---

I was considering Europe but I dont think I would want to do that solo. I like what LAFENGAS did. Maybe I should break it up a bit and enlarge my budget. If I went by bike it would be cheap because I have no problem with sleeping in tents. I would just need food and occasional motel room. If I go by car it would need to be a shorter trip. Australia always looked fun but isn’t it mostly desert? I could pack up my DSLR and tour the scenic world. Hmm. ---

Thank God she broke up with that idiot. Holy retarded. As much as I want to see Africa, there are places in the world that you just can’t go safely at all. And unfortunatly a lot of those places are in between Cairo and cape town. And obv the desert lol. That would be GREAT to backpack through.
