How I did it: Bought a motorcycle in Scotland and rode it down to Greece. It broke down about 5 times (hitchhiking off the highway in Spain isn't socially acceptable). Prepped half a year, planned out 250 cities that I would travel through, quit the job, rode 6-12 hours a day, was constantly lost (failing GPA) and rained on (no rain gear), motorcycle was stolen in Eastern Europe.

How I did it: Bought a bag of tea from a local cafe, went over to the harbor, and after the security guard walked by I tossed it in. No native costume, unfortunately. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Went to a class in San Diego with one day shadow training (toreo) and then a day down in Mexico against a young cow. I wanted to fight with a bull with horns. I quickly realized how stupid that would've been. Half the time I correctly passed the cow; the other half it came straight at me and that flag meant nothing. Bruises on my feet and shins after that.

I can now play Satellite, Tripping Billies, So Much to Say, Crash, #41, and am working on the Stone.
After hours at my friends local coffee shop, he showed me how to make an espresso. It sucked. Well, at least I tried.
