Whimsicality is Second Nature

This summer, I will be traveling around Europe for four months solely with a backpack. I will be out there for a few reasons: Anarchy Archives, Family, Friends, G8 Summit, Education, Leisure. Sometimes it just makes more sense to get up and do something drastic. Perhaps, this is more the time than any other. I hope this journey converges somewhere between Orwell, Thoureau, Kerouac, and Curtis. Perhaps it will circle back again where someday I will find my own name for myself.

Here is an abstract of the journey along with a map:

I will be creating a new blog that is only geared towards my travels in Europe. There, I will post all pictures, stories, and finds because I assume there will be an abundance and I do not wish to bog this blog down.
