3 month Project Self Improvement – COMPLETE! How did I do?! Alright, the proof of the pudding is in the eating right? Well here we go… I took 3 months off backpacking to ‘live’ in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia during July, August and Septemb...
I’d like to share a personal story about setting targets and believing in your ability, something I’ve learned along my journey from broke backpacker to not-so-broke backpacker. A few years ago I was traveling across China and a friend of m...
Restlessness (def): The inability to rest or relax as a result of boredom Restlessness is a personality trait I actively encourage. I’m a restless character and I’m proud of it. Restlessness is our brain letting us know that we can be...
Life Update – Apologies, Explanations, Travel and Business Recently my blogging have been sporadic at best, I’m aware of it, and I’m sorry for it guys. My traffic has gone from pushing 100, 000 unique visitors per month to around 65, 000 pe...
I remember facebook stalking some guy (God I wish I could remember his name), around 7 years ago when I began this lifestyle, I was 22 and he was about my age now (29). His facebook photos were immense, from Argentina, Mexico, Greece, China...
“So what do you do?” “Oh me, Im an accountant? I do spreadsheets and stuff” “Great, how about you?” “I sell office equipment” So, that’s what “you do” is it? That’s your defining act? And it may well stay like that until yo...
I now around 7 websites (with 5 more in development) and a business in Bangkok, I’m writing an ebook (or 2), I work about 10 hours per week, and I travel when and where I want. I have an assistant who does my research and organizes my work...
Facing your fears is the only way to truly overcome them, and hitting the open road with no real plan can induce trepidation in even the most hardened traveler. I’ve just said goodbye to my buddies on the road (again) and I’m jumping on the...
Loneliness is a common emotion on the road, especially when you travel alone however, it’s not an emotion that lasts long, trust me. Sometimes paths cross and sometimes they separate but it’s what happens in between that keeps us going....
I remember my economics professor at uni proudly declaring that there’s “no such thing as a free lunch”, granted he didn’t coin the phrase (we can think Mr Smith for that one) but boy did he love to sell it. I just never quite bought it tho...
It’s time for some hard, honest truths. Priorities, priorities, priorities – that’s what they always tell us about right? Do something wrong at school, uni, work – “You need to get your priorities straight”. Next time someone says it, look...
Being driven by a singing, one-armed taxi driver 600km in Botswana, hitch hiking in a cargo boat through Burma and China, drinking in the toilet cubicles on a 14 hour train with no seat ticket – awesome experiences, and ones that don’t come...
Thanks for deciding to subscribe to my blog, it means a lot to me that people trust a normal guy from Ireland.
You should be proud you're taking a new step to changing your life!
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. I talk about how I did it, and how you can do it too, in my COMPLETELY FREE
Ebook, all 20,000
words or so. Just finish the process by putting in your email below and I'll mail it right out to you immediately. No spam ever too, I promise!
Take ownership. Take action, and remember
"If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs"
