Okay, this is an amazing and inspiring story by a syndicated columnist who was ready to get out of the newsroom and into the news! Does that sound like anyone you know? And here I was thinking my hit-the-road and get-on-a-train ideas were merely the stuff of fantasy, best only to suppress or sublimate somehow from the safety of a Sherman Oaks writing table. But she did it, thereby leaving a once-desired, now-stifling life behind (including a boss who "showed personal behaviors that were bullying and deceitful" - sound familiar?) for a life traveling by train with a duffel bag stuffed to the max, collecting bylines in cities like Vienna and Budapest and, above all, interacting with people and seeing the world.

This is what they mean by follow your passion and the resources will follow. Hm, travel plus writing? My passion. And is it some kind of coincidence that old friends in Europe have been in touch, offering me places to stay? Don't be surprised if you start receiving postcards from faraway lands.
