The Weekend-Odyssey Project
Hey, thank you for taking the time to check out Weekend-Odyssey. The purpose of this page is to serve as my personal collection of travel memoirs as I go out and experience interesting things. You might be wondering “What is a Weekend-Odyssey?” A Weekend-Odyssey is an epic journey that occurs over a short period of time. Growing up I was, and still am, fascinated by Vanlife as well as the Overlanding community, two groups that focus on a nomadic lifestyle. Like many of you, I have always struggled to make the dream of a nomadic lifestyle a reality. After all, how am I supposed to live my life on the road if I have obligations that require me to stay put for extended periods of time?
Instead of wasting my time, wishing I was traveling like a nomad, I decided to take action. Using the little time available to me, I began taking mini adventures that could tide me over until I am able to live a truly nomadic life. Maybe I can’t take off months to go travel the world; but, I can definitely take advantage of the weekend. Thus, the Weekend-Odyssey project was born. So far I have enjoyed the semi-nomadic lifestyle and my goal is to inspire you to do the same.
