New Zealander Robert Thompson completed a journey the long way across China on September 28th. And he went the whole way by skateboard! Thompson kept a blog of his latest journey, as well as his previous skateboard treks across Europe and the United States. Total length of his skateboard trips: 12,159km (7,555 miles).

Amazing, nonetheless.
Stepping outside of my zones of comfort and intentionally putting myself in situations that cause me to feel fear and intrepidation is something that forces me to keep learning and striving to understand the world around me and my place in that world.
A girlfriend would also be well outside my comfort zone, but hey...a skateboard is much more cost efficient.
I would love to have a chance to chat with you about the state of the skateboarding market in China. If you are interested, please let me know. Possibly we could talk by phone.
Thanks for taking this under consideration,
Steve Beck
