A1 How To

Have you ever wanted to put away everything you’re doing and just travel abroad? My former roommate, Craig Mullins, did just that. We were both freshmen at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Craig had not been feeling like he belonged at the University. He didn’t feel like part of the crowd. He felt like he didn’t belong. He decided that instead of staying in college and being miserable, his time would be better spent if he would travel across Europe and blog about his experience. His blog, “Whatever it is I’m Looking For,” follows his journey from college freshman to amateur travel blogger.

In Craig’s own words: “From childhood until college, I was always far above my peers in intelligence (though many of the people I have met in college can brag the same.) I was placed in accelerated education classes and in the long run wound up scoring a 35 on my ACT. My range of general interests has always landed even further away from the norm than my IQ. I am more than a bit eccentric. At sixteen, I was already a quantum physics buff and by seventeen, I was working with extremely powerful magnets in fairly successful attempts to invent a new type of engine that uses very little energy input. However, despite my deep love for science, I consider myself more of an artist. I’ve written a screenplay, several short stories, most of a novel (which will be finished at some point) and way too much poetry; I’ve dabbled in film and the visual arts and I am a talented keyboard/piano player and although I’m not very good at it, I’ve at least attempted to play a mandolin.”

So, Craig not only is an amateur traveler, but also an amateur pianist, scientist, and writer. He has already captured the attention of the newspaper in his hometown of Wentzville, Missouri. He has a growing fan base and hopes to have even more readers to follow his travels. His story is very unique and exciting; most kids just go home defeated after dropping out of college, but Craig took on the challenge of traveling abroad instead. He figured that his trip would be his one shot for fame, happiness, and perhaps finding Whatever it is He’s Looking For. With only his backpack and a few meager possessions, he flew from St. Louis, Missouri, to London. He is still in London for the week, but he plans to visit Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, and many other exciting destinations, and he plans on couch surfing to conserve money.

If you find Craig’s story exciting, leave him a comment or refer a friend to his blog. You may also send him a dollar or two through a PayPal donation site, which can be found at the bottom of his blog. I hope you will support and encourage Craig on his quest for Whatever it is He’s Looking for!
