FAQ, and other odds and ends
- How can you carry enough stuff for four months?

I can find to put it in. For a month in Europe my luggage weighed 25 pounds.
Luggage for Asia weighs more, but a longer trip doesn't

- What do you have to take care of before you leave?
- Depends a little on how long I'll be gone. Here's my current
to-do list.
- I'd like to travel. Anything I could read?
- Lots! Here are some suggestions.

- Why travel?
- Short version: I was born on a Thursday and I love to travel.
Long version: here.
- Have a question for me?
- Send me an email.
