"Write a book" has been on my bucket list at number 19 since 2006, which is pretty high considering there's an additional 150 items below it. After the last few years, and after a lot of encouragement from readers, I finally feel like I have something worth writing about.

The book will be about leaving my comfortable okay life, to take a shot at living an amazing one. It won't just be an exact copy of the blog or a series of journal entries. It will be a story, filled with many things I have written about here, but also some things I never got around to telling.

Anyone interested in contributing money for this project, will receive a gift in the mail when it is complete (see below). I'm giving myself a year from when this trip is complete to finish the book. As a thank you for anyone who has already donated to my blog, I will also be sending you the gift(s) below.

I'm doing this to give me the added motivation to finish the book, and of course, help fund the printing costs and the trip currently in progress.
