It was late one night in the library my sophomore year, and this girl I was working with kept talking about how she had done it. I mean on and on and on. All the adventures she had! When I compared it to my boring summer (being a landscaper listening to audiobooks) I felt like I needed a change. So that night I decided to do it. Everything after that was sort of inertia.

Well, we used bicycles, sorry for any confusion! But considering that I drank about 2 gallons a day, and we biked and average of 75 miles everyday......37.5 MPG

If you pay less than 30% of your wages on housing at a fair market rate, then that is considered affordable

Personally my hardest obsticle was biking over some big hills in West Virginia one day early on. My knee gave out on me, so I basically could only bike with one leg. I went at a snails pace, but my friends gave me some ibuprofen, and after a quick lunch talked me through the rest of the day. After that, things got a little easier, and I managed to do the entire trip EFI (every fucking inch).
Luckily we didn't have to. Bike and build organizes all of that for us. We stay at churches mostly, and the folks along the way are usually nice enough to feed us. We carry all our stuff in these little bins, and keep them in a small trailer that a van lugs around
