I am a 34 year old English teacher from Belgium and I consider this to be my final big journey on my own. I was planning to go to Mexico, lost my passport in Yosemite. came to the east of the USA, and got my passport back from a warm-hearted American who found it and sent it to NY. Coincidence changed my plans for the better so I am ready for some more.
