Why the journey?
January 31, 2007
It seem that culture and social conditioning serve to outline who we are and how we think about our choices. What if we are something different than what that frame allows for? What if there are ideas toward being a more sustainable cooperative society that we are not able to consider? I am a traveler in search of knowing myself better. I want to make meaningful connections with other cultures so that I might learn about myself, about a diversity of approaches to sustainability, my role and potential as a human being (and I want to see beautiful places while I do it). I will spend the next six months living out of my backpack, traveling via planes, trains, buses and automobiles from farm to farm to experience what this journey has in store for me.

Hey Joanna,
Sounds like fun. I bet at the end of your journey you will discover that I was right all along.
Safe travels,
Howard
I admire your courage and free spirit. Life is all about your experience of it. My intention for you is that you have a blessed experience full of the type of connections you are looking for and a whole lot of “wonder.” I look forward to hearing about your travels and how they will shape the rest of your life. Cheers. Traci
Joanna,
I gretly admire your courage and determination to embark on this adventure. I will make a point to frequently send positive energy your way, though by the way, maybe you’re the one that will have an abundance. If so, make sure to send it my way. May love and peace be yours. Caroline
