A chronicaling of my perpetual desire to escape (and the shenanigans that inevitably ensue)

Why?

This is a question I get asked a lot when I tell people my plan.

The best way I know how to answer is that I've never really fit in. I've been a little off ever since I was a little kid. Most people are able to find at least one or two other people who are just like them. I've never found anyone like me. I like moving from place to place, never putting down roots because when you first move to a place it's normal to be different. You are given allowances for being off because you haven't figured out how things are done yet. After the year mark people start to wonder why your not fitting in better. It doesn't help that I get bored very easily, so moving around suits me in that respect as well. I also love to learn. Especially about other cultures, and the best way to do that is to live in whatever country you want to learn about.

I know I'm young, but I don't ever see myself turning into the kind of person who wants to settle down somewhere. This is why it would greatly benefit me if I only had as much stuff as I can fit in my backpack.
