**** I set off from Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in July 2011, zig-zagged across America, and ended up in Aspen, Colorado, in February 2012. Along the way I visited 28 states, three countries, dozens of national parks, hundreds of cities and towns, and countless friends and strangers. I'd lost my job of seven years, my apartment burned down while I was out of town for a weekend, and I ditched a toxic dude. You'd probably hit the road, too. This is my virtual scrapbook of anecdotes and eye candy from a freewheeling, cross-country, cross-cultural odyssey--past, present, and future....XOXO Amanda Rae Busch

![GPOYW: I still do, remember?
Some other things I believe in:
the power of the great outdoors
sending postcards and letters the old-fashioned way
crossing items off the bucket list, no matter how nerdy
the art of self-portraiture. Like this.
setting a destination, though perhaps not a specific route, before departure
adequate footwear
making your mark
the milkshake-happiness correlation
