THE ART OF WANDERING

Americans lack the necessary skills and the needed frame of mind (or perhaps psyche) to wander.





We have many hurdles to overcome before we can start learning how to wander


It really is a road very few of us have gone down and it is even difficult to find people who are interested in talking about wandering.


Fears play a role in holding us back from this experiential free form art, but I think there are many cultural issues that present more substantial road blocks.




In general we Americans are very goal oriented. We measure our days by how much we accomplish. When riding we want to cover as many miles as possible, see as much as we can see and get from point A to B as efficiently as possible.






The Nobodies have decided to go wandering and start sharing with all our faithful followers what we are learning about

THE ART OF WANDERING








I understand your scepticism about our ability to do wandering justice, especially if you are from a country or nationality that has honored and embraced wandering for hundreds of years.
We trust that you will add your insights and share your knowledge with us in the coming months. We hope you will correct, chastise and belittle us as needed. But one thing we know for sure, we will put all our energy, our limited resources and our minimal intelligence in to this project.
