I feel almost like it is my "duty" of sorts to report the facts back to those i care about in American and other places in the west. I dont know too many people, none really, back home that have... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701716&go=natemuri Tue, 3 Apr 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701167&go=natemuri My last post wIas pretty intense, i read over it and i like what i said and i mean all of it, but i can see how someone back home might think ive gone a bit mad, or that im just being dramatic about things.... that is not the case. In this time of immense reflection, I have witnessed something which i would like to explain to those back home. I realize that many people who read this blog (or jus... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2701167&go=natemuri Sun, 1 Apr 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2700827&go=natemuri I just peddled my bike ten miles to get here as its the closest internet connection to the village im living in. There are so many things i want to write about, i have so much content i want to remember to write about but then when i get here my mind goes blank!!! but i will try just the same... lets open up a flow of conciousness...The power of what i am experiencing simply cannot be put into wo... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2700827&go=natemuri Sun, 25 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2699619&go=natemuri man, where to start??... roughly two weeks ago I had an abrupt realization one morning. I was riding along on the bike, in the desert heading south into West Sahara region, when I suddenly understood a truth... that I simply do not enjoy riding a bicycle... The places it can take you are without compare, the experiences it can give you, the situations it can put you in, are all one of a kind and s... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2699619&go=natemuri Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2695963&go=natemuri cool, slightly damp, sheltered from the sun, diffused natural light, all our gear and sleeping bags laid neatly to the east.... yes we are once again enjoying the unequaled hospitality and refuge of the Moroccan and Muslim heart! I know i seem to talk about this topic a lot, but it is so profoundly beautiful that i simply cannot keep from singing!!! These people, the ones who have the least, woul... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2695963&go=natemuri Sun, 26 Feb 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2693887&go=natemuri It's hard for me to believe it's only been a week since I wrote last!! Traveling in this style is proving to provide a huge concentration of incredible, truly surreal experiences in such a small amount of time. Each and every day is packed with new, unexpected situations that one could not even dream of beforehand! Backpacking by foot as i have done in the past, one cannot get too far from the "... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2693887&go=natemuri Sat, 18 Feb 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2692927&go=natemuri I'm sitting in a small guesthouse in Tiznit, Morocco, just at the beginning of the Sahara Desert. The internet is less than dependable so this might be a short blog with the story told mainly through pictures. Morocco has been a very incredible experience for me so far, with tall peaks and low vallies, I am just beginning to understand what it means to be riding a bicycle in the desert, in a count... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2692927&go=natemuri Wed, 8 Feb 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2691386&go=natemuri Hola mis amigos!!... Motorcycle across America, took nineteen days and experienced the incredible hospitality and warmth of a dozen of my wonderful friends scattered across the country. Arrived in California, met my friends and immediately got to work. Worked for eight weeks strait, making money and developing relationships that have changed my life and put some things into a much greater... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2691386&go=natemuri Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2198870&go=natemuri Today marks the first official full week of being on the road again!!... This might be a short blog, or it might be a long one... but either way, keep in mind that I write as though I am in a room with YOU and having an actual conversation... punctuation, grammar, spelling and things of those nature are of no concern here.... First experience on the bike.... wow, man there's just not much i ca... http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2198870&go=natemuri Mon, 3 Oct 2011 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/blog.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=2190008&go=natemuri Greetings my fellow travelers... actual and armchair alike! It makes no difference here in the virtual land of imagination!!! If you ONLY know me from this blog then i must say there has been a lot of changes since my last post i wrote, sitting in an ancient little fishing village off the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, basking like a turtle in the warm radiant sun of Greece!
