Hitting the road

I’ve been craving an epic adventure for quite some time now. Tomorrow it finally begins.

I’ll be backpacking across North America with my cousin, Andrew. I leave Toronto tomorrow and will be meeting him in Winnipeg. We each have a two-month Greyhound discovery pass that gives us access to pretty much anywhere on the continent. We don’t have much of a plan other than to head west for BC, follow the west coast down to the southern States, maybe dip into Mexico, and head back up to Canada along the east coast. Since neither of us have much money, we’ll be getting as much sleep on the bus as possible, and sharing a small tent. We’ll stay in hostels as rarely as possible. We may even give dumpster diving a shot.

I don’t know exactly when I’ll be back – depends when I run out of money. But in the mean time, keep checking my blog. I’ll be updating with my iPhone as much as possible.
