Looking To The Sky

Chris Guillebeau’s New Book

Last night, I joined a large group on the third floor of Powell’s Books in Portland to see Chris Guillebeau speak.  Chris had his book published this last September and he has been on the road since on an unconventional book tour. Unlike your usual book tours where the author doesn’t really want to be there, Chris was so glad to be meeting his readers and had a great time from what I saw.  This was his last stop across the US going to all 50 states (53 cities in all).  Chris is now going on a much needed vacation with his wife to go over the year and then off to Canada to finish his North American book tour.

Chris was one of the large inspirations for me creating a blog.  Not that I hadn’t tried creating blogs before meeting Chris, but because of how he approached the blog writing method.  He is just so inspiring when he talks about his goal of going to every country in the world and just trying to create something bigger than himself.

This is a big reason for me to create this blog.  It is not just a place for me to talk about what I learned during my last lesson, but a place that I hope will lead others to complete their own dreams and adventures like I’ve finally decided to do.

When I met up with Chris I reminded him that I was learning to fly and he mentioned that when I get my license that he’d like to hit the skies with me.  Of course when I get my license I’m not going to pass this up so I look forward to getting this all done and flying him and other friends around.
