It’s been 4 months, from Hollywood to Venice to Orange County – I’ve got to experience what most people would have only dreamed of. And I will take this experience with me into the next chapter. The plan now is to go to San Francisco for a week, then to the Redwoods National Park and stay for as long as I can, then Seattle until my money runs out. By November, I should be in Vancouver where I’ll be banging on my brother’s door to try and stay with him. There’s a sad feeling as one would feel after saying goodbye – but that’s life. Onto the next one. Van, September 14, 2025
