We should all embrace lifestyle design, in our own way. We can do what we truly want in life, we just have to believe it. I just want to remove some barriers that a lot of people feel hold them back from following their true dreams:
- Rules are put in my place my arbitrary figures of self-awarded importance that deserve no bearing in our (my) life. Make your own rules and live by those.
- Societal pressures are outdated and redundant, they don’t fit the new rules that 21st century life can be lived by, if we want.
- Security is over rated. I’m not saying it’s meaningless but it’s massively overvalued. Freedom is gold, and you can’t feel life until the safety net is missing, or at least a little further away.
- Money does not represent success however start doing what you really want to do and money will invariably come your way
- Religion can be awesome if it makes you a better person, if it doesn’t then drop it. Be the best person you can be and you’ll wake up happy every day.
- Planning is for engineers and architects. If you know what you want do, do it and do it now.
- No-one is too good for you, no job too hard, no task unachievable. Haters, the media, general negativity will try to bring you down but forget all that. If you really, really want it – you can do it.
- Working HALF the time you currently do and having a more exotic, more exciting and more fun life is not just manageable but it’s pretty easy too. Just find your niche and go for it.
Live is what we make it folks, so make it big, Don’t toe the line, do what makes you happy and forget everything else. Help people everytime you get the chance. Be inspired and become inspirational. See you on the road. Happy travels.
Remember, never travel without travel insurance! And never overpay for travel insurance!
I use HeyMondo. You get INSTANT quotes. Super cheap, they actually pay out, AND they cover almost everywhere, where most insurance companies don't (even places like Central African Republic etc!). You can sign-up here. PS You even get 5% off if you use MY LINK! You can even sign up if you're already overseas and traveling, pretty cool.

Do you work remotely? Are you a digital nomad/blogger etc? You need to be insured too.
I use SafetyWing for my digital nomad insurance. It covers me while I live overseas. It's just $10 a week, and it's amazing! No upfront fees, you just pay week by week, and you can sign up just for a week if you want, then switch it off and on whenever. You can read my review here, and you can sign-up here!
As you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I’ve made more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I travel the world and live my dream.
