I'm doing the tour with my girlfriend. She graduates with her undergrad on Tuesday, and we're off.

There is a cool resource you can use to find other bikers to meet up with: CrazyGuyOnABike's Companion Classifieds

That's where I got my dream from. There are people on 300, 500, 2,000 day bike tours. What they lack is income. I've spent 2 years working hard to get my income to be all online. Now, we're traveling with HelpX.net, WWOOF, and CouchSurfing.org

Wow, Casey. That sounds so awesome. Touring Europe and then a cross country drive.

Life 2.0... I like that. Is this bicycle tour something you're doing on your own or is there an organization that organizes that kind of thing?

I hear you, @zzadell. All of my friends who graduated college are finding themselves in a dead end job, working 9-5, and not enjoying it. Sure, the money is good, but the life experience sucks.

I am starting my Life 2.0 in 1 month. I have just 2 short weeks of work left, then I leave for a 4-month tour of Spain, France and Italy by bicycle. Working on the road (internet business) and touring the world. After Europe, it's Trans-Am from LA to Gainesville FL to northern Michigan for a wedding.

I'm definitely in the boat toward shedding the career that I worked so hard to get, now uninspired and ready for something different.
Like many, I've decided to take life into my own hands to create a life that I can live, full of passion and self improvement. Thanks and I'll be visiting often,

"It's amazing that there comes a point when you realize that you've been trained to be subservient" OMG….. you're right… I"m a lab rat..

I love the Disney quote, Robert! I'm glad you've begun your journey to living the life you want. It's true that reminding yourself of your dreams daily can help make them a reality. It definitely helps you keep focused.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love this article, its hitting me right at the perfect time. I see clearly more and more everyday how things are falling into place because I've retooled my thoughts on work and life. Dreams on a timeline, that you look at regularly, change your world.

It's amazing that there comes a point when you realize that you've been trained to be subservient. Your passions set you free as they melt away the old rules. After that, there's no where to go but up.

I'm all the sudden involved with people I never though I would be, generating ideas and testing them weekly, maximizing life, and writing about each new revelation. Never thought that would be me, ever. The road to freedom is starting to reveal itself. Great post, keep em coming and check out my project if you get a chance.

People seem to like "liferape" so maybe that's meant to be WSR's contribution to the movement. Haha. Glad you liked the post.

I still figure Rio would provide an equal or higher standard of living for less money than here. I'm aiming for three to six months there when I finally do go. Things are kind of getting in gear already. It will be a while though. I think it would definitely be a city I love, too.
