The road home starts with leaving...

As Genji says, "the road home starts with leaving".  Thats getting a little deep but its true.  Its been a long road road to get to where I am, typing this on the tail end of 5 years of work in the Silicon Valley.  They have been some of the best years of my life, and I've even had to ask myself "Why I am making this change?" especially when life as I know it is pretty darn sweet.  


Well, a recent fortune cookie foretold "All that is needed to make something incredible happen is to take the first step".  The timeliness of this foretelling was not lost as me, as it was earlier that day I had booked a flight to Chile setting the wheels in motion for a big change to my normal routine.  It of course remains to be seen if Panda Express fortune cookie writer #324 was speaking the truth when he came up with that one, but either way this dream has been brewing up a long time for both Genji and I, and we aim to see it through.    


Now neither of us is typically the blogging type, just as most of you are probably not the blog reading type.  We will minimize useless blog-common banter about crappy iPhone reception on AT&T or the fat kid we saw at walmart or hipsters.  This will be straight up tales from the road with pictures to provide the backdrop of what are finding.  This should also serve as a good motivator for me to wear plenty of sunscreen, because I don't want my Mom seeing that I've gotten burned. 


Wintertime lines in California


Our goal is simple, to explore a few of the more swell exposed coasts on the planet, eat some new foods, meet new people, and see how other cultures spend their time.  Hopefully this becomes a learning experience and a chance to surf some perfect waves.  Welcome to our story, and stay tuned...
