Hey all,
My name is Rob Kowalski, trailname Ruby Tuesday. I am a student at University of Florida studying religion. I did the first couple hundred miles from Springer starting in March and met quite a few hikers. I am working on a thesis regarding spiritual journeys, unconventional travel, unconventional worship, etc. I know you warm folks won't be inconvenienced to take some time and answer these questions for me. Here is a brief project description and the questionnaire:
I am conducting research based on two populations: thru-hikers of the Appalachian Trail and travelers in south Asia. The research aims to address issues of spirituality and unconventional travel, while examining where they intersect and diverge. If you need any clarification or aren’t content with my project description, you can email me at [email protected]
Questionnaire:
1)What is your age, sex, occupation?
2)What is your social, religious, and political background?
3)Please describe the nature of your trip.
4)What circumstances lead you to undertake this trip?
5)Describe any transformations, consciousness shifts, or ideological developments that may have taken place within you on your trip. If none, please note.
6)What aspect of your journey has had the most impact on you?
7)Describe your relationships with co-travelers.
8)Describe the reintegration process into your home society following your trip.
9)Do you intend to undertake a trip of similar scope again?
Please email me the answers. Thanks, and much love to all AT enthusiasts.
