This blog's for ME

Almost 25 years old, asking my parents if I can sleep in their bed with them. I had thought I was going to be the 25th Prime Minister of Canada. Things had changed. 10 years later, I was still a scared little boy. The time had come to slap myself awake. One Saturday morning, November 19th, 2009, I declared to the world I would be riding my 10 year-old motorcycle from Vancouver, BC Canada to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, and back.

The official departure was August 28th, 2010. A group of well-wishers saw me off at 8:03 am.

I arrived in Rio de Janeiro around 6 pm March 1st, 2011.



My return to Vancouver came on July 5th, 2011 about 2:00 pm.

Drug & alcohol abuse, ADD, social anxiety, health, chronic pain, night terrors.

So many concerns. But I am far more interested in this question: Do I have the capacity to make this trip despite all my shortcomings?

My mission: To inspire myself to face my fears, enlighten myself on how all living things can peacefully co-exist, enjoy every moment, and see the world as plentiful and generous.

Go ahead. Call me crazy. Call me anything you like.

I'm out to save my world.



I LOVE YOU ALL

Captain Jack

absolutely no ferry in colon despite AAA map saying so. Ended up in Portabello, where 2 families were killed by mudslides this week..... tragic. Had to go all the way back today for cash and tried 4 different banks finally success and $800 later we should be boarding a boat for Columbia in an hour or so. Captain Jack will have me as a crew and our boat is called Fantasy, known better for its role in the 70s show Fantasy Island. well be pallet wrapping the bike and putting onto the boat deck. first is san blas island where the indigenous people have lived relatively the same for thousands of years, then Sepsura with a necessary 2nd boat to take me to Targo or something. andy and i are still 45 minutes away from the hostel and theyre waiting. hope to say hi again in 5 to 7 days
