Grading your language

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Grading your language

I’m Irish and my first language is English, I studied French throughout high school and most of university but it’s pretty weak. I’ve lived in Thailand on and off during my travels and my Thai is ok, but not fluent at all. I appreciate, mor...

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Barefoot backpackers

So you see a few poor people running around with no shoes on, any rational person would feel sympathy but what do my favourite backpackers do? Mimic then. In the seemingly endless quest to be a ‘real’ traveller, these hard core vagabonds fe...

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Just getting drunk EVERWHERE

I love to party, love it. In fact, I’ve been accused of loving it a little to much, but that’s ok. We’re only young once, so we gotta enjoy ourselves as much as possible, right? Right. But we have to draw a line somewhere, and that somewher...

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Buying Sunscreen in Asia

I admit it, I’m a pasty Irishman. A natural bronzed Adonis I am not however I don’t think I’m asking too much by wanting to have a choice of sunscreens I can buy within a whole bloody continent. The thing about the majority of (South East)...

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Renewing a (British) Passport

As if it costs more than $300 for a small little book, yet that’s how much I got charged this month to get my new passport – thanks a lot British embassy. A*sholes. We all need passports, they look cool, collecting stamps is a past time for...

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Losing Money in Currency Exchanges

Financial institutions are b*stards, simple as that. I own my money, it’s mine, I earned it and all I want is access to it, how simple is that? Not simple at all apparently. “You’ll be charged 100 ‘insert generic currency’ for this withdraw...

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Walking escalator things

I’m not sure about the name of these things, but you know what I mean right? The conveyer belt things you find in airports and malls,   where you walk on them and they move in the same direction thereby taking you to your destination even f...

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Ordering Food

I don’t speak your language, and for that I’m sorry, and I do appreciate that you’re trying to speak to me in English. The menu looks good, I’m absolutely starving, I’m going to order exactly what I’ve been craving and it’s going to be amaz...

Tuk tuk in Thailand

Tuesday’s Travel Rant: Tuk Tuk Drivers

Getting from A to B shouldn’t be so difficult, nor should it cost double the real fare. Furthermore, if I want a tuk-tuk (which is unlikely), I’ll search for one. There are few things more infuriating in the world than getting harassed by d...

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!

bloggingbroughtmehere_3debook-coverAs 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"
