#rochster

As some of you know, I am starting a journey. I will be traveling anywhere and everywhere I possibly can over the next 5 years. I will be staying with strangers and some familiar (through my past and social networking) faces. I will be giving up most of my physical belongings and the room that I rent in Brooklyn in order to be able to do this.  It will not be a small task. It takes a lot of people to make something like this happen and I realize that, so not only am I making posts for my next destinations on Craigslist, but I will be making posts here to ensure that there is more potential in finding places to stay and ways to get from one place to the next. Oh, and if you haven't figured it out yet, I don't have a car.  A car is not needed in New York City with our public transit system the way that it is. 

Anyway, I have decided that the first place that I will go on my journey is Rochester, New York. They usually have snow this time of year and it's just pretty.  Plus they have kick ass coffee shops (I don't remember the name of the chain) and these really massive grocery stores called Wegman's (or something like that). I went once before and I can't wait to get back and meet people and hopefully take a lot of really cool photos and videos, too. 

I have placed a craigslist ad in Rochester area in the personal- platonic (friends) section for men. I have received a few responses (yes and a couple, of course, wanting sex..ugh!) and will respond to them tomorrow (minus the ones wanting sex), but I need to have backups just in case. I need to know for sure that every place I go that I will most definitely have a place to stay. I DO NOT want to be sleeping outside, especially not in Rochester at this time of year.

I need your help.  If you or someone you know lives in Rochester and can help with either getting me from New York City to Rochester or can help with getting me to my next destination (Buffalo, NY), please let me know ([email protected]) OR if you have a place that I can stay in Rochester please let me know.  Anything and everything helps, especially with just starting this journey out and few people knowing about it. 

Even if you don't live in Rochester or New York or The United States, please share this. You never know who you might know through social media or friends that might live in or know someone that lives in Rochster.  

Thank you for all the support on this. I know it might all seem crazy, but I don't think it will seem that way in the end once the 5 years is complete. I'm trusting my intuition on this. :)

Love ya,
