first step

It's currently 1 am and I find myself awaiting my departure to Seattle. This is the beginning to a life long memory I couldn't be more anxious for. A long the way I will be traveling to Seattle, San Diego, and L.A., before reaching Australia, and finally ending in New Zealand. I currently have a pack that weighs about 25 lbs, it consist of one tent, a sleeping bag, a small stove, a knife, a water pack, clothes, a first aid kit, and some other accessories. My transportation will be that of a long board called the landyatchz switchblade. I'm finding it extremely hard to condense my pack to an efficient traveling size, yet still carry things I will need, due to the fact that the seasons will be changing. It's more wet then I expected which changed my approach to packing. I'm extremely nervous because I'm not an outdoors person, nor have the skill set to survive in any circumstance other than a house with all the amenities. That's probably why people call this adventure plain stupidity. This is 100% a faith walk and for that I'm excited. No strings attached, no agenda, no clue...
