I have the health (I think, anyway.) The time and money are the tricky parts. If you quit your job, you have the time but not the money. If you don't, you have the money but not the time.
I also notice most people who do things like this are single. I'm not, but if I left on a trek like this I would be when I got back.
So for now I'll just have to live vicariously through the stories from people like this.
Tundra, you hit my sentiments EXACTLY on all notes!! If I had time to do it, means I'm unemployed so money would be a problem. Now I have money to do it because I work, but time is an issue. The biggest Amen, is "..if I left on a trek like this I would be [single] when I got back..." AMEN!! The wife worries now when I'm out doing my normal weekly rides of roughly 25-40 miles by myself.
So yeah, I to live vicariously through the cycling touring stories of others. So much so that I was even following the cycling story of that guy across America....
LOL!!
