How I feel today, or a start down
the proverbial travelers path.

We don't go anywhere.
Going somewhere is for squares.
We just go!
- Marlon Brando The Wild One (1954)

Brits Abroad
- Maybe for Gap Year,
maybe to conquer or colonize the planet.
Whatever the reason, there is a need.
The British want to go abroad or overseas.

From here to there...
That is a list of jumps I have
made since the last newsletter.
Philippines to Thailand
Thailand to Nepal

I leave Kathmandu, Nepal and fly on May 30th
to Surabaya, Indonesia to see an EARTHQUAKE
and a Volcano at Mount Merapi. I can kill two birds
with one stone.

KATHMANDU NEPAL BACKPACKS

Kathmandu is a staging point for people
to climb mountains, Mount Everest
and other big ones.

I have a home, it is my backpack,
and I am making a new home
here in Kathmandu, Nepal.

I have returned to Katmandu for my dream
of making the perfect backpack, I think
I am 97 percent there, I will walk out of here
with something.

Trying to mass-produce them is in the works.

However, the challenge of the Earth,
the climbing of mountains is one adventure.
I am leaving now for Indonesia
to go see the Earthquake.

March as best I can tell is the month when
they try to climb Mount Everest; this means
if I wish to talk with climbers, I need to go to
base camp in March. It is May; the windows
of time have passed.

I will go when the time is right, or I will not go.

I think I should be in Indonesia in two days.

I go to find a Volcano and an Earthquake.
Mount Merapi and Yogyakarta close to
center of Earthquake, I think I need to fly
to Surabaya, Indonesia, however it
may be Jakarta.

You can read my daily diary,
complete with photos.

Find the Power of the Earth

Earth, Wind and Fire
Water

In my youth, there was a song about Earth, Wind, and Fire,
I did not understand, but I could feel the power.
I knew there was something there.

As an adult, as a traveler, I feel the power of observation;
I can see who has witnessed the planet before me.

Charles Darwin
Christopher Columbus
Ferdinand Magellan
James A. Michener
Leonardo da Vinci

To witness, to observe, to experience,
to feel, this is the intimate desire. I am jealous;
I want to explore, to know the blunderbuss blast of…

Earth, Wind and Fire - Water

My tip is…
Now is the time, GO see your planet.

CURRENT EVENTS TRAVEL
I have wrote a tip June 17, 2003 recommending
you think about current events travel.
This was when I went to Iraq to visit History.
http://www.hobotraveler.com/newsletterhobo113.php

NOW, I am recommending you visit you
Find the Power of the Earth

Anywhere major city on the planet is possible within
24 hours; any location is possible within a couple of days.

Example: I went to see the Volcano Pacaya
near Antigua Guatemala as a tourist attraction.
A girl stepped on a piece of EARTH.
It burned into her huge oversized boots,
embedded itself into the semi-plastic soles of her boots.
This was molten lava, earth.

It was a clue for me; I could see the power of the Earth,
as she ripped off her boots
to avoid having the rock burn enter her foot.

I want to see a Volcano
I want to see an Earthquake.
I want to see a Flood.
I want to understand, maybe…
Find the Power of the Earth

My tip… You can.
Stop Dreaming and go.

RESEARCH
There is an Earthquake in Indonesia; however,
this is not a new idea for me, Andy of HoboTraveler.com.
I have been doing research or attempting to do research
on these topics.

There are many paths to an adventure.
