Take Two

When I first decided that I was going to travel around the world, I pictured it as a linear path. I would set out from Vancouver, save money tree planting, get sailing certifications, land a job on a yacht, build up experience in the Caribbean, and then sail across the ocean. Looking at a map its all pretty clear cut – rideshare down the traffic heavy interstates, hitchhike on quieter roads, take a sailing course here, ships start sailing out of San Diego toward the South Pacific in December, apply for a holiday work visa in Australia and so on.
