Over the past few months, every now and then, I’ve mentioned that I’ve been working on a variety of new projects. And while at times it seems as if some of these projects will drag on for another 30 years without ever being finished, I am thrilled to announce that one of these projects has now been completed! So why am I even bothering to make this announcement? Well, even though I normally prefer to avoid talking about my current income-generating endeavors on my blog,… [...]
I’m not quite sure I can remember the last time I did what I did yesterday. To sum it all up, I did nothing at all. Honestly, up until 10:17pm last night, my day had not even existed. After enjoying a deep, ten-hour sleep the night before, I awoke yesterday morning at 10:30am. I proceeded to take a shower and prepare myself for what has become my typical day as of late. Sitting down at the table, I turned my laptop on and began going… [...]
“I want to travel right now, but I don’t have any money saved. I think I’ll have to wait a couple of years before I can leave.” The above situation is one that many people email me about, people who know that they are afflicted with the travel bug, but who feel the need to put that desire to explore this groovy world in the closet for now due to the balance (or lack of) in their bank account. At first, I was… [...]
The time was 8:00am. I had exactly one hour to kill before having to hail a taxi to the airport in order to pick up my close friend who was flying in from Thailand. And while one hour normally seems like a short period of time, on this occasion it was torturous, given that my arms, legs and chest required constant scratching due to the several dozen bedbugs I had shared my bed with during the night. Why I had chosen the most ultra-budget, grimiest… [...]
“my head may explode if i see one more list post with ‘make a plan’ as one of the steps” @rulesoptional (take a look, you won’t be disappointed www.RulesOptional.com) As you may have determined by now, I’m not particularly fond of the word “PLAN”. P-L-A-N I’m an anti-plan kind of guy. Plans restrict me and truthfully, I don’t like being restricted. Sure, people have financial plans and pension plans and health care plans but that’s not exactly the kind of… [...]
Her name is Keren. Not Karen. Keren. And I must tell you, she is absolutely lovely. It took a long time for me to find her but now that I have, I anticipate that we will be quite close for quite some time. Already we email each other almost every day and we even talk on the telephone once in a while. The first thing she ever wrote to me was, “Anything you need, I… [...]
I have to admit, I’m not exactly a rat race escapee. I actually never entered the ‘real world’ in the first place. Instead, when I was 22 years old I took a gamble that ended up paying off, giving me the financial means to live a nomadic lifestyle of steady travel for the past 10 years. This gamble I speak of… [...] Ever since I resigned about a year ago from my job as a Tour Manager on board cruise ships, two of the most common questions I am asked are: What do you do now? How are you able to travel so much? When faced with these questions, I have so far relied on rather vague and somewhat silly responses such as “I’m a freelancer” or “I do internet stuff”. It’s not that I have anything to hide, I just find it difficult to explain the actual truth. But if I’m going to do this website properly, I guess I have… [...] |
