Where Are You Now?

As many of you are aware, I’ve reached the end of my journey around the United States and am now back in the West. The story is far from over, however!
For the next several weeks, I’ll continue telling you about my adventures. From Virginia, the path leads south and west: through North Carolina to Tennessee, finally landing in New Orleans for three weeks of mind-blowing, frustrating, inspiring, parading, jazz-infused mudraking.
And then it’s all over, which is a sad prospect for you and me both. But never fear! There are new things on the horizon.
One question many of you have asked: where am I headed next, and when? The answer is a bit complicated. So here’s the plan, as I see it.
Uprooted International will take me around the world in 2011. I’m hoping to focus more on sustainability and travel issues, including the ethics of travel and what the tourism industry is doing to respond to environmental concerns. And as always, I’ll be talking about how to travel dirt-cheap.
As Uprooted grows, I’ll be bringing more and more outside voices: fellow travelers, explorers and gamechangers with stories to tell from all parts of the world.
At the same time, I’ll be launching a new project or two, to focus more on the green/cheap living, radical interdependence and DIY ethic that’s inspired me throughout this journey.
So, lots of irons in the fire. It’s very exciting around here—but I’m glad, too, to be home with my people, in my beloved West, watching spring break over familiar horizons.
In the immediate future, my travelogue posts will be slowing down as the inspiration for new projects picks up.
Keep reading: there’s good stuff in the pipe.

Watching spring break over familiar horizons is almost as good as seeing the outside world through your friendly eye in my blogroll.
This sounds exciting. Don’t forget to get twitterpated first. It is spring, you know.
Don’t I know it! Well, almost. It’s the February pseudo-spring, but it sure feels good.
Anyway, it’s all very exciting
I was excited to see you here in Costa Rica the spring but alas the way things look I may still be able to see you in 2011 here in Costa Rica.
or in the desert?
enjoy your much earned time with your people. vagabonding is fun… for awhile.
<3
<3 I'm sorry to not be there right NOW. ... You'll still be in CR in 2011?
Yes, absolutely, the desert. Without a doubt.
Yeah! So excited for you (and for me because I will be able to live vicariously through you!)
Kate, forgive me but I submitted your site to BoingBoing today. I couldn’t help it.
Well done! Inspirational, in fact. If you venture down to the Bay Area, we’d love to meet and swap green travel tales….
Lovely, and thanks! I make it down there occasionally; will be in touch next time a visit approaches.
