The reasons are pretty random:

1. I read “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho and read the bio on the back of the book saying he was inspired by it. Cool. I didn’t realize he was Brazilian, but that’s another story. The story is that I really want to learn Portuguese and go to Brazil.
2. I met someone in German class saying that he’d walked it when he was younger and he recommended that I do it too. He had met his wife there, which I think is pretty cool also.
3. If, through Brazilian Portuguese and German, two goals that I have on here on 43T, inspires a third goal, so be it.
4. I really like walking. I mean REALLY. Let me put this theory up to the test.
