‘To live and work in every continent of the world before I’m 30′.
The seed of this goal was planted whilst I was on my university holidays working for 2 months in Australia. Even though Australia is very similar to my home country New Zealand, I found great love in the small changes, the new scenery, the people I met, the places I saw.
I went back to New Zealand to start my 3rd year of my Bachelor of Commerce degree at Otago University in New Zealand, with a new love in life, ‘to travel’. Middle finger in the air to my previous plan of going on and completing post grad at University.
After passing my final year exams I completed an Outward Bound course in January 2003, there I committed to paper my goal, ‘to live and work in every continent of the world before I was 30′.
In April 2003, the journey began to achieve my goal with no plan what so ever, just have a good time along the way
Hi Hap!
I wish you good luck in your life and many happy

Hey Yair,
26 yrs old at the moment, still got 4 years. The hardest continent to get to is going to be Antarctica, but I’m working on it.
The chapters date back 5 years, starting in Korea. You will find the deportation chapter is dated in August last year, infact it was when I left Colombia and was trying to get back into US when it happended, August last year.
I am now in Perth, Australia. I am going to do some more posts in the coming week, showing where I am living, and what work I am doing at present.
Anyway mate, I enjoy reading your emails, I hope South America is treating you well. the end or your year adventure is coming to a close aye? make the most of it, as the reality of home won’t have changed much.
Peace,
Nuthin but love hap

Sup Adam and Fran,
Good that you dropped a line, cool to hear from ya’s.
What a night that was aye, only by a miracle we didn’t miss the boat the next day, we both slept through the alarm and I only woke up (When we were meant to be at the boat) because I was having a dream that we missed the boat!
Yeah, I’m back to reality too, but a good reality, back at work.
Keep in touch, let us know your travel plans and will no doubt cross you guys path………maybe Brazil!
