I’m on the Central Anatolia plateau now. Tomorrow morning I head out of Cardak. The walk across Turkey is 12% done. I figure that for pretty much anything in life, if you can get past the 10% mark, and you’re committed to doing whatever it takes to get the other 90%, your chances are pretty good.
I’ve barely been on the road for three weeks and some amazing, life-changing things have already happened. Many of them I share here on this blog. The most amazing things I don’t, however, at least not yet. They are the more profound things that require some extra time to digest. They are the things that will appear in the books when the trip is done.
To continue the trip without interruption it is really important that I hit the $3900 mark on Kickstarter. Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform. No matter how close I am to that $3900, if I don’t at least hit that number, I don’t get anything. No one’s card is charged, not even the people who already committed to backing the trip. I won’t receive even one dime.
If that happens, I’ll need to “go dark” for a while while I figure out a Plan B. Plan B will involve finishing the walk, because that is the mission I’ve set for myself personally.
However, sharing the walk with others via photos, blog posts, and books will get muscled out by other priorities.
So if you’ve enjoyed following the trip here on this website, please consider backing it on Kickstarter.
If you back the trip on Kickstarter, you’re going to get more out of the trip than you do here on this website. You’re going to get books about the trip, or you’re going to get postcards from the road, or whatever else you select. Hell, there’s even an option on there where you can get the shards from a champagne bottle I’ll be breaking on the road at the Turkey/Iran border.
If you are enjoying following this trip and want to continue seeing it unfold, the time to back it 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.
