When I set off on my first big adventure, I wanted it to be really long. I wanted it to be indefinitely long because I felt I needed that, and I wanted all the challenges, and I didn't really want to be able to see an end point.

I wanted not to be able to spend much money, and just to force myself into action in all sorts of senses.
