If something happens to it will you just swap it out and keep rolling? Like the palace in Kyoto that’s burned down twice but is still the “same palace”?

OOOOH I didn't know about that place in Kyoto! Honestly I don't know yet. One idea is to replace the ukulele with another "Trippy" and treat it like a title that gets passed on from ukulele to ukulele. The other, if Trippy gets broken, is to use part of the ukulele to incorporate it into another, assuming it can't be fixed. For now, I have a backup replica sitting in storage, and we'll cross that bridge hopefully never 🤞.

What was the motivation for this? It also reminds of that dude who went to every country.

There's currently less than 500 people who've been to every country, and YES they were a huge motivation! But the main motivation was wanting to do something my life that could bring a lot of joy to people, while combining my love for travel and music. And not to be too morbid, but I also wanted to do something that could leave a fun legacy behind. I literally asked myself "if I died during this project (or afterwards), would I be happy with how I will be remembered?" The answer was yes, so I'm going for it.

Hello /u/TravelingUkulele,

AMAs need to be about something you have done, not something that you plan to do at some point or are in the process of doing. We'd love to welcome you back for an AMA to talk about the experience once you've achieved your goal.

Aloha! So far I'm only staying in Texas for 1 month, and then I go back to Barcelona Spain (where I'm based). On another occasion we'll plan a larger roadtrip through the US. Probably next year 🤞

Cool. Let me know if you ever near San Diego. I am keen to support just about anything promoting the ukulele. I wish you well on your epic journey.

Aghhhh I love this project so much. I hope to someday be a part of it 😊 I'd love to know, do you have or plan to have original music of your own?
