My mind was racing. Why wouldn't these thoughts stop? Working nine-to-five no longer became an option as I had started to receive many pieces of the spiritual puzzle. The time was now! I had to break away from my daily bonds and finish this mystery. I left everything I knew and decided to just go and walk until the clues made themselves known. A very low cost airfare to Western Europe was the deciding factor to where I was headed. Little did I know what I was in for. With no hotel or any other type of reservation, I booked a one way flight. I didn't know when I would return and I only had 400 dollars to my name ... it would have to last until I got my answer. I was determined!

I landed in Brussels and was lucky enough to find a youth hostel for a few nights. I immediately met many wonderful people. The more I traveled around the more I knew I was closer to the answer of this journey. Even with the limited funds I was carrying, I was having the time of my life. Brussels, Paris, Barcelona ... where next? Each new city brought greater experiences. Things were falling into place. The answer was only a few days away.

Barcelona would have been home, but the money situation was getting thin. I found a merchant interested in my Internet skills, but the red tape was very thick for a work visa. Only two hundred dollars left. It was time to move on. I had to make it back to Patmos. At least there I could study at the Monastery with Nicholas. The bus ticket took half my funds and could only get me as far as Rome. I figured my plan. I would hitch a ride to the southern end of Italy and grab a ferry to Greece. All would have been fine, but Rome is not a great place to land without a place to stay.
