In a few hours, I will be making my first foray off the continent. My first stop is Kenya and Tanzania. After two weeks there, I will be heading over to Vienna. Not much is planned and I'm not really sure what to expect.
But at least I'll have some amazing pictures to post here in a month's time. My grandfather got me an Nikon D90 DSLR camera; it's pretty fantastic.
While the DSLR is a fine piece of technology, it will be the only I will be bringing with me. I won't have any phone, or laptop or internet for an entire month. I see this as an opportunity to divorce myself from the many distractions that come with these things and focus on the things that add value to life, like adventure. I have brought with me several books to read: Sailing Alone Around the World by Joshua Slocum (self-explanatory); and The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell which is about how ideas spread.
