About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Resigned from my job to be able to travel across the globe over land, i want to watch the transition from one country to the next, and absorb everything i can, simple.

ABOUT ME

I have worked hard to be able to achieve the things that i wanted in life, i had all of the materials that people generally have an interest in and i had done pretty well in my career. I have realised that this is not really the fabric in life and what people really need is to forget about the material rewards and concentrate on other personal rewards. I sold my house, sold most of my belongings and have resigned from my job. Its not a mid-life crisis by any means, i am merely practicing what i preach.

PHILOSOPHY

Favourite quote i have heard for a while i found on a box of mints.... i dont know who zen dog is but he is a cool cucumber.
"Zen Dog, he knows not where he's going, for the ocean will decide, Its not the destination, its the glory of the ride"
