Helping to support a dream.
Her name is Jess. She wants to ride a Vespa from Alabama to the deserts of Arizona...why? Because she is young and has a dream.
I don't know what impress me more, the fact that she wants to do this at 25 (I remember a lot of drinking and trying to get women naked at that age). Help here dream. You can read about it on my site. Let's help out someone live there dreams.

22, a degree in communications, working at CVS.
No money, but wants others to pay her way for her dream trip When I was a kid, I was told that if you wanted something, you had to work for it, save your money. My how times have changed. I've made many a cross country ride, on a Goldwing and a 1100 shadow, and neither was as easy as this girl seems to make it appear. Someone had better sit down with her and have a long talk about being on the road alone, fatigue, breakdowns, repairs, etc etc. There's more to it than just , 'jump on my Vespa and hit the road'. Yea, idealistic 22 year old, that's great, practical, maybe not. Being cute doesn't always get ya where ya wanna go. I read a story about a kid who took a Honda Rebel from IN to Ca and back. http://www.pashnit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18512 A little more dramatic, but, unexpected breakdowns etc. I wish her luck, and look forward to the 'after report'

I've been thinking about this one for a while. Problem I have is she has things like rent on her trip budget......
I also don't see anywhere what her personal finacial input for the trip is. Finaly I don't see a "plan". How far per day ? How long she staying out there ? How is she and the scoot getting back ? Lots of questions and I give her credit for trying but I can't donate to such an anonymous cause. There is simply no transparency just a short video of a pretty little girl. Be Big, AMAC

Ref above thread
That's kinda what I was referring to when I mentioned I had made several cross country road trips Gotta have a plan, and money and a back up plan She has a nice dream, but I don't see a plan. I have a lot of dreams too, but I don't expect everyone here to give me money for my new Vett, trip to Hawaii, etc etc Which is why I would like to see a (what we called in the military after a TDY)a Trip Report.

Four days left and she doesn't have the $$and and not even close. also has not updated her info in at least a week. These things sound great but on the faceless, nameless Internet one can never be sure.
If she doesn't make it she still has $460.00 for the effort. caveat emptor. Be Big, AMAC

I have a dream too! To buy a big motorcycle. I can only afford $3k, and the other $5k would be you who will want to fund me in it.
I'm planning on using it to go to NC. Now, I know, y'all don't care one squiggelidoo about that, but I do. Oh, and remember! It's much better to support me here, than if I where to waste my time and money into prostitution, which a lot of 33yr old men do around here! So, support my goals and dreams please! I dont give a BLEEP about yours, but please support mine! |
