Hi reddit! as you can see this place is pretty bare bones right now but that'll change once I begin my walk.  I figured I'd post up some Frequently asked Questions in the meantime.

Why?
Absolutely the most common question I get. There's a lot of reasons. I though of it a few years ago as sort of a graduation/see the world thing. That didn't exactly pan out but the idea stayed in the back of my head. Right now, I'm at a part of my life where I don't have anything tying me to one particular place. I've graduated, haven't started a career, girlfriend went off to grad school so we split. Everything just seemed to fall into place and I knew I'd regret it if I didn't at least try.

I think it will be a great opportunity to meet new people, see the country, and most importantly, test myself. I'm not completely happy with who I am and this is one of those life altering experiences I think I need.

What will you do for food? 

The majority of my food will be Soylent 1.5. It is a powdered meal replacement shake that is perfect for what I need. It's light weight, cheap, and has about 2000 calories of nutrition. I'll also be supplementing my diet with cheap high calorie foods like peanuts and fruit.

Where are you going to sleep?

I've got a tent and will camp when I need to but I will also use hostels, and friends couches.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. I'll update the list as time goes on.
