I will not post anything about a trip....but the posts will come. Before I talk about the future, I want to talk about the past. I have traveled around the country and many parts of the world. I guess you could say I haven't actually traveled a much as I have moved. Places I have lived for longer than three months would be the following: New Orleans (where I was born), Newton NJ and another city in NJ...can't remember I was young, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Tampa Florida. San Diego NJ, Trexlertown, PA, Knoxville, TN, Nogales, AZ and now Tucson AZ. Living on the border I spent some time in Mexico. It's cool so live so close to another world and I also got to speak in Spanish...a language I am somewhat fluent in. As a bike racer I have traveled to many cities and states...so many I cannot remember them all. I also raced outside of France and Italy. I lived as an exchange student in Chile when I was in high school and I taught English in Poland. Phewww, I am already tired.
I got to a point in my life when I didn't want to move and I didn't want to travel. I have no home and no family and no past. I have learned that when you move around so much, people don't know you and you have no past which follows you around, which I am sure is good in some ways, but in some ways its not. This realization started about five years ago when I quit racing my bike. But for whatever reason I have moved a bit since then. Now I am in Tucson and I want to say the same thing, but I am reserved and I have begun to race my bike again, just so I can have a community, a friend and a place where I belong.
My trips as a racer, I will post on this site. I plan on also going back to Mexico...a fascinating country. I want to travel to Ireland and Cuba. Maybe this will happen and I can write about it when the time comes.
