Why do you do it?
Hey Guys,
Thanks for building such a wonderful resource. I've got the bug and have spent the last 2 weeks reading most of Hubb (or at least scratching the surface).
I've come to a view on all the religious topics (soft vs. hard; Euro vs. Jap; big vs. small) which may or may not be right, but make sense to me. But in the end those are just details.
What I'm amazed is missing, however, is someone asking the question of why did you do it and what you got out of it. Any even moderate distance trip seems like such a material investment of life, money and risk that I expect everyone must have had some solid reasons/expectations of it before they went off.
I'd love to know what they were for you and what you got out of it looking back on the trip. Now there's a topic where there's probably even more viewpoints than hard vs. soft luggage.
And finally I struggled to pick the right section for posting this to - so rather selfishly went for SA as that's where I'm looking for my trip. Hopefully not completely
I hope this kicks something interesting off!
