I've been quiet for the past week because I've been on the road. I'll talk about where I'm going later, but I've decided to leave the US because my growing disgust with this country has been a dominant theme for the last few months.

I lived overseas a few years ago, and that experience really put how despicable the US is in sharp focus. When I came back to deal with family issues, I knew I wouldn't stay, but I decided to live in Cali for a bit and got comfortable.

This past year has made it clear that I need to escape the US for a while. Between the absurdity of finding employment, unprovoked violence from law enforcement, and now, white vigilantes carrying hate crimes every other day, I need to get back to my plan of leaving the US for good.

I love traveling, so being back out on the road has been refreshing, but the larger context is that I can't ignore my growing repugnance with the place of my birth.

So I'm making some changes.
