The project idea came to my mind after a self-analysis that I did on my way home from the last trip – Morocco 2013 or as I like to call it, Africa 2013…… it sounds better.
I realized that a good excuse for not doing what you must, is to say something like this to yourself : “no matter how hard you try to accomplish that thing , if it’s not meant to be , it’s not going to happen”. My point is, that for a couple of years I’ve been doing only what I should have done, only what was good, normal, nice, helpful, but the results were not the ones that I’ve been hoping for . I had good intentions, I tried, but when I saw that it just wouldn’t work, I thought to myself : “That’s it! Something must be done”. Ok.
On my first examination of the matter , I realized that in order to move forward with this project, that could require one year or more , the first thing I need, is that particular amount of time, and of course, some money. Obviously , neither me, nor the people I talked about this with, dispose of that kind of time and money , so I decided that this must be done , no matter what.
When planning something like this, it is hard to resist the temptation of including as many objectives as possible . In this case , the objectives are called continents, the countries on them, and places in those countries. So far so good. Now first things first.
Continents, a total of 7, or 6 -5 if we are to listen to different opinions. One of them is covered in ice, so we’ll skip over. That leaves us with six. Countries, as many as possible from each continent, and since you get to America why not to go to Alaska as well . If you get to South America, you simply can not, NOT not go to “Tierra del Fuego” . If you get to Morocco and like to call it “being in Africa” , why not actually go to Africa, for real , to all of Africa from north to south. If you set foot in Australia, wouldn’t it be a shame not to run to New Zealand? If you plan to go to Japan, then doing it in the month when the cherry trees bloom, it’s a must! And if you find yourself in Russia, after having survived the imense quantities of vodka you had to drink in order to be able to speak the local language, then you must go up north to Magadan and west and reach Kamchatka. Of course, let’s not forget Mongolia, the Baltics ..and that’s pretty much it.
I could say a lot more …. and I will … but a little later, inside the section “On going Event”.
