…on why he backed the project:
“I really admire Matt’s courage and commitment in doing this walk across Turkey. He could have spent the next six months sitting in some corporate cube, earning a steady paycheck, and deferring his dreams. Instead, he literally chose the road less traveled. That’s why I decided to back him on Kickstarter. I wanted to see at least one man’s dreams come true.
“But more than that, I think Matt is a wonderful ambassador who bridges the divide between East and West. His thoughtful book, A Tight Wide Open Space, provided a sensitive, nuanced look at the life of an expat in Turkey. It brought back good memories from my own visit there. And I look forward to more insightful writing from Matt.
“These are two great reasons to support his trek!”
Thanks Jesse!
If you are enjoying following this trip and want to continue seeing it unfold, the time to back it on Kickstarter is now. The time is not later when I’ve gone dark and am trying to come up with a Plan B. The time is now.
