When I was 27 I was working as a software engineer, going to work everyday. I looked around at the people that had been the 10 or 20 years and it scared the shit out of me.
I quit that job and drove from Alaska to Argentina over 2 years. I poked lava with with a stick, jumped off waterfalls, hiked a 20,000ft active volcano, learned spanish and had all kinds of wild adventures for a lot less than a used Tesla costs.
It changed my life, and I’m certain it was the best thing I ever did. Now almost 20 years later my body is not the same, my desire to rough it is not the same. If I didn’t do it then, I doubt I would do it now, because I would be too used to the comfortable life.
I am still having massive adventures around the world, and I am extremely happy I broke away from selling my life to someone else just sitting inside all day.
