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

We get into a traditional stone and mortar mexican house, and through a doorway covered by a blanket into an oasis of AC. Rom´s sister and mom meet us, and give me the royal treatment having known me for about 1 minute. his promise was true. we talk for about an hour in spanish using about the 50 or so words and phrases i knew to get around. my blue mexican spanish book became my bible. I joked I couldn´t speak spanish at night unless i had a light to check my book as necessary. Toilet has no seat, and shower is a square made out of concrete blocks. I was in heaven.
