Ted,
I'll be honest with you. When I left on my last trip it was because I suddenly realised I'd not really been enjoying life that much. My business was barely breaking even, I was bored a lot of the time, my feild of work turned out to be very different to how I imagined it and I realised too late that girls don't like poor, independent guys. I remembered my life as a snowboard bum, caning my money without a thought for the future, doing irrepairable damage to my knees and back, and loving every minute of life.
I never expected my trip to change my life (and it hasn't) but I had a bloody fantastic several months for the first time in years. Now its back to work for a year or so, then back on the bike for more adventures!
Lifes too short to plan for the future. Do it all now before it's too late.
Matt
