Hi, I'm Carlin Comm :)
Feel free to email me at carlin.comm@gmail.com or use the address at the bottom of this page. And if we've met on the road please tell me where we met! There have already been so many wonderful people!
In August 2012, I got rid of most of my stuff, and took off to explore the world on my motorcycle!
As of September, 2012, I have arrived at my Dad's house in Wenatchee, Washington. The motorcycle will remain here for a few months. All is well, don't worry. I'm just changing gears a bit. I've been sponsored to go help build an orphanage in Belize. That's down south of Cancun, Mexico. I hear it hardly ever snows there. So I'm planning to spend the winter there, then in spring I'll come back, get the bike, and continue my adventure.
As of end of September, 2012, I've gone over 6000 miles / 10,000 KMs, in only about a month. Not too bad, really. In that time, I've worn out a rear tire, a set of chain / sprockets, but had no real serious problems. Life is good!
New Update, As of end of February, 2013, I'm no longer on Belize. After about 135 days, it was time to move on. So I jumped on a bus through Mexico, and then spent a few days recovering in San Diego :-)
Another Update! As of April 2013 - I'm now in Austin, Texas. I rode from Wenatchee, WA, through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and finally into Texas. I got to see Zion National Park, and also the Grand Canyon. I'll be in Austin for a while, I've been hired by HostGator, and I just signed a lease on an apartment. The last year of traveling has pretty much exhausted my resources, financially, emotionally, and physically! I've only been here a week, but so far I like Austin. I've logged about 19,000 KMs / 12,000 miles since leaving Alberta last August, and have put on about 25,000 KMs / 16,000 miles since I bought the bike 12 months ago. I'd say I'm getting my money's worth! Stay Tuned!
GreenDragon is what I decided to call my motorcycle, cause its Green. And this is the year of the Dragon.
And RTW is for Round The World. Its a big world, so it might take me a while!
