On October 13, 2016 I will leave my house in Providence Rhode Island and begin another journey across America. I will do it barefoot. My goal is to reach California at some point in late December. I’ll do some running and some walking. The entire journey will be completed entirely on my own two bare feet.

Six years ago, I made a similar journey across America on foot, but for that journey I used shoes. I went through three pairs of shoes. It took me eighty-one days. While walking I kept a blog. I also wrote a book about the trip called: “I am a Road.” You can buy a copy of it here. Printed copies will only be for sale until October 7, 2016. You will not be able to buy printed copies after October 7, 2016. Now is your only opportunity to get a printed copy of “I am a Road.”

Since walking across America in 2010, I have thought a lot about crossing America on foot again. This second trip will obviously be different. I am no longer the same human I was in 2010. Here are a few differences between the trip in 2010 and the trip in 2016:

Anyway, that’s all for now. I’m sure I forgot some things. If you have specific questions about the trip either ask them below or here.
