“I love it when a plan comes together” — (Hannibal Smith)

Alright, i don’t like it here. We established that fact earlier. But what to do about it? The obvious choice would be to get drunk every evening and watch TV. Pretty common decision in Germany because booze is really cheap and its almost impossible to watch TV sober. I tried that for some time but it didn’t work for me. The little man in my head who always says stuff like “You can do so much better! Such potential! Use it! Don’t put it to waste” doesn’t get drunk easily and when I get him wasted he is getting more confident and creative with his ideas. So sitting drunk in front of the telly is a possibility to kill time but it makes me feel really unhappy. And craving for Anditainment…

Emigration would be another solution but where to? I love travelling and have done quite a bit so far but even with the possibility to choose freely there’s no place which really drags me to go there.

The logical choice which is left is to do a scouting trip. Just put your life on a truck and start roaming around until you feel the urge to stay. As a friend of iterative work organization models I don’t want to give up everything at home. It’s not that bad 🙂 So the Plan is to do trips around Europe but to return to Germany whenever I feel like it and to travel there as well. And to meet nice people. To sum it up:

• Acquire funds & free time to survive roughly half a year with as little (payed) work as possible (almost done)
• Acquire a decent vehicle for long distance travel around Europe (working on it)
• Transform vehicle into decent shape, add some luxury as well as an environment to do some prototyping of technical stuff (todo)
• Use social networks to find interesting people in western europe (todo)
• Lay out a route which connects these interesting people and some sight seeing (todo)
• Start travelling (todo) and be spontaneous (work in progress)

Stay tuned, something around 27 working days left…
