Comments on: Beware Rampant Optimism http://www.amtrekker.com/completed-objectives/134 I'm an unemployed vagrant. All I have is a backpack full of technology, a shoestring budget and a very important list. When everything is crossed off my list I get to go home! Let me know if you want to trade one of those shoestrings for help. brett@amtrekker.com Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:34:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Krish http://www.amtrekker.com/completed-objectives/134#comment-3284 Krish Sat, 28 Jun 2008 06:51:05 +0000 http://www.amtrekker.com/completed-objectives/134#comment-3284 <strong>Krish</strong> Just wanted to drop a note to let you know what a great site you have.

The funny thing to think about is that if you had caught a ride any earlier or later to any other destination, you would have missed Vernon altogether. Think about that. That is awesome.

I made some amazing friends and had crazy good adventures after opening myself up to the possibility of the randomness of it. It's such a shame that it's not that cool or safe to hitch anymore or that people won't pick folks up as much (unless you're near a hippy or ski town or on a small island then it's common) because it's a great way to meet someone and learn about their life, kinda like a rolling version of couchsurfing :) Glad it worked out and yes, take that number 15, ka kow!
