stThis project examines 21 century America by exploring and interacting with people in all regions of the country in order to reveal the widely varying attitudes and cultures of a nation. Inspired by Hunter S. Thompson and his style of Gonzo journalism, I rode 14,026 miles on Greyhound buses in 67 days through 39 states. Through the processes of autoethnography, I put myself in situations that force me to examine my own thoughts and opinions. I experience first hand a complicated country that is rapidly changing as technology booms and war rages. I share my thoughts, feelings and perceptions without any conscious self-censorship. The arenas I find myself in include politics, race, the class system, poverty, war and capitalism.
