“The journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step.” ~ Lao Tzu
Raiden, an emotionally troubled 40-something guy, is at a major turning point in his life. Rather than choose to face it head on, he undertakes an epic road trip adventure across North America, all with the aim of escaping the single most transformative event of his life – imminent fatherhood.
Searching for solutions in all the wrong places and faces, Raiden is forced to turn the mirror back on himself and shine the harsh light of reality not only on his quest, but into the very depths of his soul, in order to discover what it is he truly seeks.
While he does his best to find the answer, the impactful events he experiences along the way will reveal more about Raiden and his nature than the strange assortment of characters he meets on his overland odyssey.
Ultimately, The Journey is a story that no matter how far you run, your demons always follow.
“Mark T. Rasmussen rewards readers with a fascinating tale of transformation. 5-stars!”

Mental Health Resources for those in the USA - In light of the recent election, I want to put out a message that LGBTQIA+ and minorities are always welcome here. I may post promos in conjunction with tour companies that spout worldviews I don't always agree with, but we do our best to avoid any openly phobic posts, and should you notice any, I'd appreciate you contacting me with this form to let me know.

I'm doing my best to get everything up on the site and social media in a timely manner. Apologies if anything is missed or late! Between the state of the US right now, my mental/physical health, and some things going on in my personal life, things may be missed or late occasionally. I truly appreciate your understanding!
