Great article Ryan.

I think it is important to remember that a vagabond lifestyle is damn hard. Most people are not cut out for the loneliness and sacrifice of a constant nomadic existence. It is fun for short breaks but it is really nice to have a home base to return to.

I have never been to Hawaii though. I think it would be great to have an apartment there just because of its location between Asia and North America.

Wow Sounds amazing!
I’ve heard stories from a few people now who have gone and lived in Hawaii with almost no cash, and had an awesome time. Find a temp job, make friends with others, I think it’s very possible to enjoy life with little cost.

Thanks for the post

So what is next, Ryan? I am a reader of Location 180 but never contributed before. With a great story like yours and a wealth of life experience don’t you think you can translate that into a career? Or at least should be able to?

What up ya’ll? The next leg should begin January 2010. A world trip is in the plans. Basically, head south from Portland through Mexico, Central America, South America, then east to South Africa for the world cup, up the east coast of Africa, Eastern Europe, India, SE Asia, Australia, and NZ. Ambitious, I know and plans are being made to bring Sean along. Lets all get behind him and push him to make the jump!

Great to hear different perspectives on Hawaii. All my friends I know have loved their time there. Maybe it’s time for me to check it out.

I hadn’t ever considered moving to Hawaii, having only seen it from the tourist perspective. I did date a Samoan once who was from one of the smaller islands and your description of the oh-so-loving locals versus the Howlies is much more true than I had realized before. There is definitely a rift from the culture and the history. I wonder if that is amplified because of the seclusion.

When does the next leg of this journey begin for you?
