Go Time!

I am getting ready to roll out of the sunny, comfortable weather of Cali, all alone into an adventure that would be a lot to handle for some. But this Cat is gonna strap his backpack, lace his Nikes, grab his camera and GO! I packed mad light: just an empty backpack for my sidetrips, my camera bag and one suitcase. Gotta stay mobile and free :) traveling man moving thru places.....

I'm gonna start off with 12 days in London. This is going to be beautiful because Ramadan starts within the first couple of Days I get there, So I get to practice part of this Holy month, involving fasting and self discipline, in a Vibrant city like London. Its wonderful to be able to check out the different Muslim Communities in the World, but to do it and practice Ramadan while the visit is gonna be special. I cant wait to see how them Brits do it. I'm staying at a couple different homies places from back in the day. One of them grew up with me, and the other actually did a semester exchange at SDSU.

Anyway, thereafter I'm gonna find myself practicing the 2nd half of Ramadan in Amman, Jordan. Thats gonna be something alright! Me, brand new in the city, culture shock and all, fasting with Ramadan, starting school, and hustling to get a place to live. I wonder if getting a crib in Amman is gonna be similar to getting one in San Diego? U know the mad run around you gotta do for a nice spot in San Diego! Haha, it'll be adventurous thats for sure.

Later on ill find myself in places like Petra, West Bank, Jerusalem, South Lebanon, Cairo, Damascus, Dubai, and maybe more.

Im mad excited! Pumped up and all! a lil nervous tho to be leaving everyone i love and care about and head out there kinda just free lancing and into the mistiness of the middle east. U never know what u might run into when coasting around the world alone... Stay tuned in for occasional posts and stories. I might even put up a cool little video clip from time to time! Alright I leave on the 28th, signing out till the next post, much love, Peace!
