Congradulations. I don't know why more people don't do this. I know people that work crappy hours, can't ride, don't get paid regularly, yet refuse to quit.

More power to you.

Right on! I'm bumming it this summer as well, but all over the east coast. My car will be my castle.

From an ex-brit that lives in BC now, be prepared to apply for visa's once you decide that 3 months isn't enough.
See you at Whistler.

Cunning.. however when you see the dirt jumps by the river in Whistler you'll want to have both bikes ready to go. Just pick some wheels up in BC (in Vancouver as it'll be cheaper than in Whis).

If you can do it...do it! I would be lying if I said that I hadn't thought about "dropping" out of society a few times in my life. However, reality always keep me from doing something like that. It certainly takes courage to do something like this...good luck!

The funny thing is the person I have in mind has none of these. Never went to college, doesn't have a CC, doesn't have a house, and doesn't have insurance.

I don't blame you. Insurance is definately important IMO.
