Well it's finally over. I've done it. It's finished. Here is the breakdown.

22 Countries
21 Airplane Flights
16 Ferry Crossings
13 Train Rides
8 Subway Systems
Countless buses, mopeds, tuk tuks, and miles on my trainers!

The last 6 months have brought so many emotions that it is very hard for me to describe the experience as a whole. At times I felt completely at home...halfway across the world, at other times I was horribly home sick Look where my kite took me!
Look where my kite took me!
 . Overall, the trip could not have gone better. I had no major problems, kept to my budget and have and endless new email list of people around the world!

The food, the friends, the kiteboarding, the surfing, the FOOD...all incredible and I hope to share my stories with all of you as I get to see everyone. You'll probably have to shut me up with the way I babble on and on. Thanks for sticking with me throughout this...I couldn't have done it without everyones constant encouragment. I hope everyone was able to learn a little something about a different part of the world!

Now get off your butt and go out and travel!

Oh, and when everyone asks me where is the best place I visited, I'd have to say...Manhattan Beach...California Rocks!

This is Mike signing out.
