30L backpack. nice. y’know, the more you pack to bring with you, the more you bring your fishbowl. it’s surprising how little you actually need. all the other stuff is just fishbowl decoration.

thanks :)

I try to live my entire life outside the fishbowl, staying open-minded to everything and trying to understand things I disagree with instead of rejecting them entirely. After living in the same 40 sq mile radius for the past 28 years, I realized that all the "sameness" was slowly killing me. I've decided to become a nomadic world traveler and to venture into the unknown, trying to understand different cultures, different people, and different ways of living. It's partly a mission of self-discovery, but also a way for me to give myself the opportunity to show others that the world is so much bigger than their local shopping plaza. I leave for South India next month, traveling with only the contents of a 30L backpack. :) I've subscribed and I look forward to your future posts! Wow, fantastic post. So well put!
