set foot on all seven continents

It’s great that others are posting their progress. I’ve done the following:

North America (US and Canada)
Europe
Asia

To Do:
South America (Argentina or Brazil)
Africa (South Africa)
Australia (Sydney and Great Barrier Reef)
Antarctica

So far, I’ve set foot on North America, Asia, Europe and Africa.

Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia down

North America in the planning phase

South America… ummm… for some reason, I don’t feel like going there right now… give me a reason to do it anyway :)

Antarctica… this might be a problem

I think I finally need to start preparing for the long, long road ahead… I finally caved in and bought a one way ticket to Istanbul… I have this faith that there is something better in life… Whether it’s 5 miles from home, or in a remote Indonesian island… I’ll just have to find out for myself, and I’m willing to starve trying… Whats worse, that this could quite possibly be the biggest mistake of my so far stagnant existence, or that I could live with an entire lifetime of second guessing my choices and die here at “home” old and unhappy without ever knowing… I’m not a “seeker of truth”, and I’m not looking for some mystical religious experience… I just like to entertain the idea that through living, and all the vast possibilities traveling would bring me, that I could finally find that part of me thats in a complete tantrum to be realized… That part of me that I only ever dream about being… Whether I end up selling camel hump rides in the Sahara, or become an international antiquities mogul in Italy… I’m really only doing this to discover me… Without the clearly drawn boundaries my social clique drew for me… It will be a personal quest for my whole and complete self if you will… In a world where the only thing left to discover is yourself, wouldn’t it be shameful to not risk familiarity to gain contentment… Give me your thoughts on this whole spill…

So Far:

North America
Europe
Asia
Australia
