Your right, this site does have a cool name.

I am not trying to trick you into taking a sucky trip. Let there be no confusion on that point.

Despite the ultra-cool name of this site, a trip that only consists of “simply leaving” is going to suck. You need more in your trip. Be wary. The name of this site almost tricked me the other day, and I was the one who made up the name.

I named this site “Simply Leave” because the moment when you leave on a trip is incomprehensibly cool. It is that moment of anticipation and excitement when your feet cross the threshold. Your worries about organizing the trip have passed and there isn’t yet anything to freak out about. All that remains is the pure realization that with this moment something is ending, and a new adventure has just been born. It is a moment full of possibility and free of ambiguity. At this moment the world is completely open.

For just that moment, you might even be able to fly.
