At the time I hoped that trip would scratch my travel itch, but in the end it just taught me how easy and accessible and delightful travel could be if you allowed yourself to go slowly and inexpensively. After college I got a job as a landscaper, saved my money, and spent eight months traveling across North America in a Volkswagen Vanagon. Later, when I was in college and working blue-collar summer jobs in Kansas I began to worry that life wasn’t going to provide me with the multi-month travel adventures I dreamed out. When I was young I went to places like Kansas City and Chicago and Colorado I didn’t see the ocean until I was 15. I pretty much thought that’s what everyone in the world lived for: Annual summer vacations. Growing up in Kansas, summer vacation trips were the highlight of my year.
