Why did I leave? | ||

Having been captivated through books, stories, movies when I was a kid, I remember that I told my parents that I wanted to be a globe-trotter when I'll be grown up. However, my family are not really involved in my deep desire of traveling which has became my reality a day of July 2014. I am from a pretty quite place in France, surrounding by hills, and friendly people. Not famous on a big scale, it is a warm place, with his secret pride, like some stinky cheese for cold winter evenings, and some sparkling wine for the happys days.
Anyway, being 21 years old, I had my first paid holiday of a worker, and I went alone to Malta with my backpack, and crossed all the islands only by foot in 10 days for about 300km.
Next holidays became as adventurous, experiencing different places, different ways of transportations, but only in Europe.
Indeed, I started saving money when I got my first job, in case of one day, I'd be free ( no girl, no kids), and with a little bit to survive for a long period.
If he did it, why can't I do it as well. That's how, after 5 years in an IT company, talking to lots of people as my position was an helpdesk technician, I decided to lose myself. Actually, before becoming pretty much a nomad, I never hitchhiked before. Never cycled more than 20km in a day Travel : What for ?Leaving the country, with some savings, I didn't really seek sponsors, or any motto to follow. I had in fact, not really an idea of what will happen, what I will like, how amazing it would be. I just let myself as much freedom as I could... except that I got a girlfriend just before leaving, complicating a bit the process and the feelings during the first week. But, how did I do my way, with no aim ? Well, I was dreaming of some lands, because of history and other pictures I've seen before. Then, I draw those circles in my head, and they would become my checkpoints.
