Rehage doesn't seem to be a trustafarian (per his website, http://www.thelongestwayhome.com/about.html "I broke my ass for a lifetime saving, planning and dreaming. I worked, sacrificed and do not take luxuries while traveling"); and even if he is, so what, most trustafarians don't do things nearly as awesome. This is a quintessentially a wonderful thing. What is the German word for feeling happy upon learning of the good fortune of others? No need to hate.

But I'm with brokebutstilldrinking; I wonder how he managed to spend the year doing this without worrying about food, debts, or a career. I wish his travel journal was still available to fill us in on his sense of freedom. Well done.

The one you are referring to is, no doubt, a great resource and well put together. However, the former even relates to Rahage with a question "Is he a great traveler?"
