I had to look up "odyssey" to be clear in answering your question. At first take, I was uncomfortable answering because there felt like shame in the possible answer. Then I looked up the word:
Definition of odyssey- 1 : a long wandering or voyage usually marked by many changes of fortune 2 : an intellectual or spiritual wandering or quest
an odyssey of self-discovery; a spiritual odyssey from disbelief to faith
So the answer is, "yes" then.
Have the police asked you to leave town after you spent too much time in a grocery store?
No.
Or do you have the urge to travel, but you're afraid or unwilling to unplug to do it?
Yes to fear, no to unwilling.
What's the point of bicycle touring if all you're going to do is ride to a different location and spend your time surfing from there?
If I am going to sit at home and do that now, putting on tons of miles a day...why not just take the show on the road? What's the difference where I do screen time? If the scenery keeps changing, and I am constantly overloading my senses with new information, enviornments, scenery, cultures, whatever...why does it matter what I do when I stop at the end of the day? Besides, the more new stuff there is to see, the less screen time I will have theoretically anyway. But if I get some serious down time, I would like to be able to isolate and check out for a while on screen time rather than sit in a local pub kind of thing.
I'm not trying to be offensive, I just don't understand your purpose.
The purpose isn't important. I love being on my bike and exploring.
If I get on my bike to go, it will be wherever the wind blows me, and trying to survive doing it. "Odyssey" is a good word to sum it up.
I don't have an easy way to explain why I want to do what I want to do, but I just know I want to do it. I don't have a plan, and that would be the plan.
