- Sam, on his backpack, after carrying it all the way from Europe to SEA by 3 months of travel
Two couchsurfing friends from France (whom I met in Vietnam..) visited me recently, en route to Indonesia. The premise of their travel is interesting: from France, they are trying to reach New Caledonie, just because it's supposedly the furthest point from France halfway 'round the world.
Another thing, they are doing the journey without taking aeroplane (which ended up making them take Indonesian ferries across suspect waters..haih.. as an Indonesian I have total respect for them..) and not just that, they are not using mobile phone either.. And so far they have managed to meet up with people they are supposed to meet up with in each country hahaha...
When I asked them why they did it, like why the condition on not taking aeroplane etc, they just answered, "Well because we want to see if it is possible.." , and I think this is the basis of so many human endeavours, of so many adventures, of so many reckless deeds and dangerous expeditions: just to see if it is possible.
Somehow, somehow, it sounds like a really good reason...
