Hey everyone! First of all, thank you for having me, it looks like a great board.
I, like the rest of you guys, have a great interest in nature, and here it is. I got a -crazy- idea. A new crazy idea.
Just to introduce myself... In 2009 I got the idea to ride across a continent on my bike, doing at least 150 km/day. A friend and I ended up crossing the northern tier of the United States in 2010, at the age of 18 I was the youngest Dane to cross, and also the fastest, with 29 days. My friend second-youngest (age 20) and similarly fastest.
Now it's 2012 and in summer I'll graduate high school. I know I'll have one gap year before beginning university-studies , so I'm thinking about what to do...
KAMCHATKA!
Wouldn't it be awesome to go to Kamchatka and live in the bush for a year? Wake up when the sun does, ride horseback to a designated area in the woods to build a tree hut? Scout for bears while fishing to cook dinner?
-- To live at the world's end? --
I think so... What do you think? Is it a ridiculous idea? Have you been to Kamchatka? (Esso?, other smaller towns?)
Tell me what you think, and thank you for welcoming me on board!
--- And for those of you that are so unfortunate not to know what, where, why... THIS is Kamchatka:
