Hello From The Vagabond

Does anyone remember Kurtis Hoff (thats me) It may come as a shock to some of you but I am alive and kicking. I havn't been as diligent as I want to be in keeping touch with you all, I'm sorry I've been living a very busy life since Kaleo ended and it's not about to change.

Last winter I moved to the U.K. lived and worked in England, shared an apartment with a complete stranger from South Africa, and we became best mates. I moved back to Canada this spring for tree planting again, then worked in the fields for my Dad and now I'm helping my friends Dad harvest in Saskatchewan.

This winter again I will be traveling seeing amazeing things, learning history, culture, and street sense that no text book can possibly fringe upon.

On November 14th I fly for South Africa where I will be going on a nation wide road trip with Nick (former flat mate), and two other friends from England.
From there I will move back to the United Kingdom and work till my visa expires in Sept. 2010. After which I will spend the following winter of 2010-2011 backpacking Europe till the money runs out. I'm estimating it will last till May 2011; then I will move back to Canada and get a life, maybe.
If any of you wish to join me for any portion of my time in Europe, or simply just visit me on your way through please do.
I have alot of plans but nothing concrete, I'm relying alot on God to provide me with safe and rewarding travels, good jobs, fun experiences, exciting stories and most important of all friends to cherish the times with. He's been the best travel guide for me so far and never left me in need or unsatified.
I want to share all of this with you guys because 1. I love you all 2. I covet your prayers 3. You guys are the reason I am able to do this.
Well! God through you. the love and appreciation you guys gave me over our time together has blessed me with the confidense to step out alone (accept that cozzy feeling in my soul like someone is right there beside you), and unafraid, eager to see who and what is over the horizon.
I Promice to let you guys in on the details as the next year and a half of wondering plays out. I just want you all to know that everywhere I go I will be thinking about, loving and missing you all.
