Every now and again I get the time and am in the right space to send out a Free Language Letter. That happened two days ago for the seventh time.

This is exciting for me as I launch Hip to the Trip. One of my main focuses with HT3 is foreign languages and foreign language learning. I am using several websites in conjunction with this one to bring together the various themes that pervade in my life.

The travel plans for HT3 serve as a background for other endeavors and research projects that each Brent and I will be collectively or single-handedly working on. Free Language and Freestyle Language are two examples of projects I will be working on. Conscious Reggae is on of Brent's projects, and one that he will be collecting data for in every country he visits. Freely Renewable is a project we are collectively building.

So without further ado...

Brent's most recent posts here and on Freely Renewable inspired me to write a few words regarding the state of things here at Hip to the Trip.

An understanding of Hip to the Trip in the context of las vidas de Brent y yo is unfolding now, online...

One of my main motivations is a freely mobile lifestyle. It motivates me because I have tasted it. I've even lived a "mostly free mobile lifestyle" for many years now. But at different times and in different places that finicky combination of delicate and subtle ingredients lacked to concoct the precise recipe for mobility, and my itinerant drive had to be kept at bay. Trifles like cash flow, business commitments, personal attachments and getting a higher education rendered me virtually immobile for up to months at a time!

And now... there's this. Voilà! The next step unfolds online as Brent and I travel, learn, explore, research, cook, document and otherwise experience "to the full most extent" the art and practice of minimalist mobile lifestyle design.
