Jun. 9th, 2008 05:35 pmOK, another wonderful thing to do to file with all the other cool ideas for things to do.
I like hiking, but I've never been taken by the idea of hiking the *whole* of the Appalachian Trail, as it starts far too far south for my taste, down where there be dragons &c. Doing part of it sounds pretty cool, maybe that section from Virginia north. Some of the long-distance footpaths in the UK and their equivalents in France, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands also seem appealing.
But now I've discovered that there's even more AT than I realised:
International AT--Quebec
International AT--Newfoundland and Labrador
Of course, walking this would be in addition to exploring all the other parts of Quebec and the Maritimes I want to see, touring more of the Rockies in the US and Canada, traveling to the west coast to see BC, the Pacific NW, and Alaska, and all the traveling I'd like to do in Europe, the Middle East (someday, if there's ever a safe time to do that again), and maybe Central and South Asia. And Australia and New Zealand...
Anyone have any ideas how one can become independently wealthy and spend all one's time doing what one would *like* to do, instead of what one needs to do?
*sigh*
