The Beginning of the End

Background
I worked at a top-ranked advertising agency for the past 3.5 years and recently just got laid off. I fancied two options: working on another piece of business (doing the same shit) or taking the severance package and running.

It's going to be insane -- I've never traveled overseas as an adult. I've never lived outside of Los Angeles. I've never been away from my family for more than three weeks. I've never even backpacked, and the longest amount of cold I've experienced was during weekend trips to Mammoth -- with aged whiskeys, hot jacuzzis, and winter green to ease my soul after a long day of snowboarding.

Admittedly, I'm scared shitless of what I may be getting myself into; but at the same time, I'm pretty excited to see what I may be getting myself out of.

Contact
The only way to contact me is to leave comments on this blog, Facebook or via email (proefound@yahoo.com). Other than that, I've decided to fuck off.

Wish me lush.

Couchsurfing

I'm going to couchsurf my way through Europe in hopes of getting an inside edition of each country that I visit. I'm not going to explain it, but look it up (couchsurfing.com) if you want to want to know what's up. Here's the initial letter that I'm going to send out:

Hello,

My name is Roe and I plan on visiting your country
during the week of _/_/08; therefore, I was hoping
that I could stay on your couch for a day (or two, or
twenty, just kidding).

I'm a very respectful and clean guy and I'm completely
open to anything new, so let's be friends and have
some fun! If not, kick me out! How easy is that?

I apologize for sending out a generic email. I'll pay
for the first round of drinks.

Cheers,

Roe
