I hope that at least my readers see the irony in someone who calls himself "The Ultimate Traveler" criticizing my boastfulness.  And actually, some of the closest friends that I've made along the road have been people who's travels make mine look dull and overly cautious by comparison. As for what I'm running from, I think that I've been pretty clear about that.  I'm running from the corporate world and consumer culture in America.  Living on a beach in Dahab and working 2 hours a day, beats the hell out of living in SF and working 12 hours a day.  -Adam Marco - Oct 14, 2006 Real nice meeting you....Hope you'll find some plesant ride to Georgia.... Don't forget see you some where round the glob. Odwori - Oct 08, 2006 We hope that all is well with you.  We saw your site a few months ago before we went travelling through Europe, and we just came back to see what you had been up to.  Hope everything is ok and that you can continue with your adventure soon.  -- All is well with me.  I've been living in Berlin and relaxing for the past few months.  But very soon, I should start new adventures and start writing (or video blogging) again. -Adam Dan - Oct 08, 2006 Hey Adam, I found your site randomly Googling for some info on Costa Rica !  I'm actually headed to Costa Rica tomorrow morning.  Yay ! I've read most of the articles on your site and really like it.  I hope to travel the world one day like yourself, but right now I think I have to many material possesions (house, car, etc), and I would like to have a family some time in the near future.  Perhaps I will cast this all away sometime and set myself free to roam the world.  Your site has certainly been inspirational. My pics: http://www.dancclark.com/gallery/ My site (havent updated it in a while) http://www.dancclark.com -- As to your house and car, let me give you my thoughts through the words of Khalil Gibran.  He says it much better than I would: And tell me, people of Orphalese, what have you in these houses?  And what is it you guard with fastened doors? Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters a house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master? Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral. As to a family, well....  largely that seems to be a matter of finding a woman who is similarly interested in leading an adventurous, alternative, relatively possession free life.  Kids are a more complex issue - there are big positives to giving them stability - but also big positives to giving them new experiences and showing them the world.  -Adam trae - Oct 01, 2006 im terribly jealous.  your living the life im trying to make for myself.  its good to see its working out for some people though. found you from the burningman tribe site, and i love your floatingman idea.  im totally in if(when) it happens.  i have been working with the idea of buying a sailboat to live on anyways.  seriously, im jealous.  good luck in your travels Pivi & Santeri - Sept 08, 2006 Hey Adam, Thanks for the blog and site.  It was nice to read about your life and travels.  We are a couple, born in Finland, and have been traveling around the world for 2 years and will continue.  Our only plan is no plans.  So our home is whereever we happen be, and we guess you have the same.  It's great to have all the time in the world. Hope to hear from you and we would like to exhange thoughts about life outside rat race.  Also, if you ever happen to end up near us it would be great to meet you. No fears or worries, Pivi & Santeri http://oravanpyora.blogspot.com Chuck - Sept 05, 2006 Come on Adam - we are all waiting from some action!  Time to get back on the road?
