Door 04 / The world
The whole arc.
Here's the dream, plainly: eleven years, roughly 256 countries and territories, one or two weeks at a time. Not tourism: arrival with purpose. I turn up, find the builders, lend my hands, leave working tools behind, write songs about what I find, and move when the signal says move. Patronage at this door buys exactly one thing: my freedom to be in the right place at the right time.
Every station's a kind of home.

The engine
Project Odyssey.
The blueprint already exists: years of it. The Travel Oracle reads live signals and points to the next right place; sponsors turn legs of the map from purple to gold, one at a time. The rhythm is boring on purpose: safety, documents, budget, review. The melody is everything else: opportunity, culture, friendship, and whatever the road decides to teach.
At this door
What lives here.
Gold is running today; purple is still becoming. The full map lives on the register.
Why you can trust the big dream
The handshake was earned at a market stall.
Everything this door asks of you (value for value, honest rails, a public ledger) was proven in person first, at a stall where my customers can find me every week. The world door is the same handshake, made portable.
