You Can Call Me Joe -- A Joe V Blog
Joe V

Hi, I’m Joe V. The V is for Vadeboncoeur, but no one ever really calls me that (except my business card). That card also calls me the Global Director of Product Development, Marketing and Creative Design for Trek Bicycle. Yep, I am sometimes not really sure what all that means either. I do know that I dig bikes, oatmeal, motorcycles, burritos, the weird things I see along the way, my family and my job. I get to travel the world helping make great bikes, so it’s a pretty great gig.

« The last trip of the year! | Main | Go see the Wizard, the cracking good place that is OZ! »

Stepping Into The Void

This is one of the most anticipated trips of the year for me. Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to go to Australia. Somehow, I think I will need a big knife or something. I really hope I have to wrestle a crocodile or box a kangaroo or something. I hope I can figure out the Australian Rules Football thing.  I hope I do not have to sit through a whole Cricket match.  (What is that game anyway?) I hope I don't die from a poison fish or man eating plant or or Hoop Snake or from one of the other 67.8 unique ways you can be killed in OZ.

Wish me luck that I don't get lost in the outback. Just sounds exotic saying it that way.

As I said, I have always wanted to go.  I think that maybe it is like a full time Mad Max set. You know, your mind does strange things to you when you are a kid.  I always thought that when I did go, I would travel through the outback in a jeep or something like that. This trip will not be like that, but I am still hoping for the Kangaroo ride.

I can dream, can't I?

Out.
