Getting ready to migrate to my new site!

Very soon the updated Finding Forty web site will be up and running and I'll be migrating all the content there...Stay tuned!

Where would you go to escape your life?

Even when traveling, I always find it hard to get away from the technology and commitments that tether us to our lives at home.   Check out this interesting piece from Lonely Planet.

As I work on finalizing the destination list for Finding Forty, I am definitely looking for selections that are off the grid.  What do you think of these?  Post your responses here:  Where would you go to escape your life?

First Destinations Booked!

Good Morning!  Happy to report I have booked my first domestic trip for Finding Forty!  I will be heading to Big Sky Country (Colorado/Wyoming) and the midwest (Nebraska/Kansas) later in June searching for women Finding Forty where the land is big and many struggle to keep their families afloat living off what they can farm.

Do you have input on what cities/areas I should visit?  Please post comments here.  Thank you!

The pull of travel....

A big part of Finding Forty for me is the continual pull I feel to get out, explore, see new things and explore new cultures.  I often wonder where it comes from and sometimes even start to feel restless when I am home, even though I love living in San Diego.  Here's a great piece from CNN Travel about "10 Reasons You Know it's Time to Go Traveling" -- some signs to look for in your own life that say it's time to get out!

Finalizing a look and feel...

Choices, choices, choices!  I am getting close to being ready to launch the Finding Forty Project, approaching sponsors and potential advertisers.  But man, choosing details is hard work!

Getting Started

Well, this is it!  A new project, an exciting adventure as I begin to ramp up towards 40.  I've created this site to start documenting the project as it gets underway and allow people to comment, share ideas and more!  At this point I'm going to start seeking corporate underwriters to help offset travel costs and move forward with an itinerary.  Wish me luck!
