Hi, I'm Tynan! I love life and explore its possibilities by ignoring common sense and discovering what is really possible. If you are sick of the Standard 9-5 Lifestyle and want more out of your life, you're in the right place.
We’re going on a pilgrimage. We just realized that our train passes are valid starting today, so we need to take a long trip to start it off.
Fourteen hours to the island prefecture of Shikoku sounds about right. In Shikoku there is a traditional 88 temple pilgrimage through the countryside and woods that covers 993 miles. Most people do it in 40-60 days on foot, although others wimp out and take the bus.
We don’t have time for that, unfortunately, but we’re going to head out tonight and walk for a day or two.
For more info, check out this page. I’ve got to get ready!

Awesome! I may be in the minority, but frankly trekking around temples in Japan for 2 months sounds fantastic!
