In the last 2 weeks I have watched 2 documentaries comprised of 5 discs. These shows have reviled to me the possibility of motorcycle travel around the world. I already love motorcycles, although I don't have one yet and I have been wanting to travel for months. These hours of virtual adventure have pushed me over the edge. I am finding it practically impossible to sit at my desk during the day. All I want to do is take off and leave it all into the wild style. I really crave travel and new experiences. I hope that one day I will be able to find something that will allow me to do that full time.
I do have to say that these 2 shows, Long Way Round and Long Way down, have opened my eyes to the hope and possibility of adventure in a new way. In these shows 3 guys travel around the world on motorcycles for a total of 35,000 miles. I think that traveling by motorcycles allows you to really become apart of the land. You can feel it, see it, breathe it much more fully. It also draws people to you because they sense that you are more vulnerable and want to help.
Motorcycles are so freeing. The wind in my hair makes me feel like I am flying. Maybe my thirst for adventure can be quenched by a ride.
