I quit my job, bought an army truck, and spent 19 months circumnavigating Africa
This looks like a nice experience, but I&#x27;m realizing that I don&#x27;t want to do anything like this. I thought I did, but I guess not. That includes driving an RV around America or New Zealand, hiking the Appalachian trail, or any other kind of journey where you travel from A to B and see a few things along the way. I do want to visit Africa, but all of this driving and getting stuck doesn&#x27;t really appeal to me. I do want to visit places like Ethiopia and South Africa, but I think I&#x27;ll take a plane.<p>I&#x27;ve traveled quite a bit, but I feel like up until this point I&#x27;ve just been consuming experiences and meeting people. It&#x27;s nice, but ultimately not very fulfilling. I would like to experience some real adventure and end up with some interesting stories, but I&#x27;m starting to realize that you can&#x27;t just be a spectator, you have to be a part of something bigger. Maybe by trying to solve a problem, investigating an issue and creating a documentary, or fighting for something important.<p>The reason I&#x27;m writing all of this is because I also want to quit my job and go off on some kind of new adventure, but I&#x27;m not really sure what I should do. As Rep. John Lewis says, maybe I need to get into some &quot;good trouble&quot;.
