Well I should say what a successful test. From these hypothesis, the conclusions:
– moving every night will be too much. Plan on two nights in one place, then move
– I did a not bad job packing… really I need just one pair of jeans, one T-shirt, a sweatshirt, a dress I can roll up very little, a suit jacket and an outfit to run around in the woods. Toiletries, my laptop and camera, a book, I’m done
– yes bringing my bike is key, and I think it’ll work if I keep it in the backseat and use my trunk for my crap
– blogging remotely is totally possible… the internet access at the resort was fast, free and stable. Still gotta look into a Turbo stick from Bell
– still have to test out CouchSurfing.com too
– eating reasonably well should be doable, provided I try; that’ll be the hard part
– some tools need to be added to my trunk… a crowbar, a screwdriver, a bigger flashlight, a flare gun
– I can cover and explore less in 2 days than I thought, and that’s just on my blog nevermind video too. More work, design and thought has to go into that
– I tagged this post with ‘scientific method’
Welcome Back!
It sounds like you had a great time!!
Thanks, Scott, great to be back on my bloooog! I’ve had too much caffeineeeeee!
Awesome! I had a girl stay with me once from couchsurfing.com.My old roomie did it thought Europe. She was from the US and came to TO for a concert. It was a cool experience.
Hi Casie – that’s good to read. I’m still undecided how I feel about the whole thing, the couch surfing. Feels kinda intrusive of me, although the people knowingly sign up and invite me… and will I have to make an amazing amount of small talk? Do I literally sleep on a couch? Can I put up stipulations like: please everything not be covered in dog hair? So much to think about.
