Blog Critique- Alex Foster's Trek to Change the World

http://trektochangetheworld.com/

"By the time you read this I will have renounced all of my worthless possessions like I always wanted to do... I will be on the road with no money, no phone, no security, no insurance, nothing, but love, life, liberty and the pursuit of a dream... The dream to live in a world of people wide awake to their own dreams and the universal one; to love each other boundlessly and selflessly for the greater good of all Humankind."
-Alex Kode Foster

Personally, I find most blogs to be redundant, boring, and full of endless complaints about politics, human morality, and the ever failing economy. Who really gives a ****, right? Most of the bloggers spend their lives behind their computer screen, "meeting" people online, and never being proactive in their want for change.

Alex Foster is not that kind of blogger.

What makes Trek to Change the World a blog worth reading is that Alex Foster isn't sitting behind a computer screen complaining. He's out there making his dream a reality. For the next 5 months Alex and his friend Dylan will be traveling together, carrying nothing but the bare essentials and making their way around the country on a solar powered trek. He's out there meeting people and making his philosopy known.

Trek to Change the World is updated every few days or so.

Almost every post has comments on it, so it is read regularly.

Besides texts Trek to Change the World uses video and pictures.

All in all, there is nothing about Trek to Change the World that I don't like. Just the fact that Alex and his friend Dylan are out there, on foot, making change, and documenting their progress via blog makes it all worth reading.
