Where are you headed next, and why? (Free t-shirts at stake.)

Vagablogging :: Rolf Potts Vagabonding Blog

Ten years ago this month, when I was touring around the United States promoting my then-recently released book Vagabonding, I handed out stickers that featured the letters “VGB” in a little white oval (not unlike the international license plate “country code” sticker one might see on cars in Europe). The purpose of the sticker, I told folks, was to help a person stay motivated as he or she planned and saved money for some future trip. Affixed to a car (or a dorm wall, or an office cubicle, or some other visible place), the VGB could be a reminder to oneself and one’s community that the person in question had made the decision — they were committing themselves to a vagabonding adventure, be it a few weeks or few years into the future.

I’ve since run out of VGB stickers, but — thanks to this blog’s friends at tshirtprinting.org — I’d like to give away VGB t-shirts to ten Vagablogging readers who are in the process of planning a vagabonding journey. To put yourself in the running, just reply to this post with an answer to the question: Where are you headed next, and why? Feel free to add details about your destination, your motivation, your fears/ambitions for the trip, and how you’re currently planning and saving for it. Be sure to include contact details — or follow the post in coming days — so that we’ll know how to reach you and send you a shirt if you’re one of the lucky ten. Happy vagabonding, everyone!
