The Dream.

      The dream started with my friend Chris coming home from a month-long bike tour down Washington to California. He told me about it, and it sounded amazing; no work, ride a bike at your own pace and enjoy what the world throws your way. I told him, next time he wants to do anything like that again, let me know. All he said was "Europe" and I was in. I didn't do much outside and most of my life was video games, work  friends, being overweight and lazy, but this trip sounded like a dream I couldn't pass up. We invited everyone to come, as long as they could keep up and get enough money for three months in Europe. That was 6 months ago. Since then, I went on a juice fast for a month and lost 35 pounds. Chris and I recruited 6 other people to come along, 5 of whom decided they couldn't do it, leaving us with my roommate Josh. To be honest Josh has been the biggest help of planning this trip, and by that I mean he's planned every single step of it. Chris and I owe him a lot for that. I've picked up photography and dropped my old gamer life style. We have a little over 2 weeks left till we go. I lay in bed trying to think what the next three months of my life will be like and its blank. I can't do it. But I'll be updating this blog with our adventures as i try and fill in the blanks and live life truly free. First stop is Denmark on June 14th. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy the blog.
