Is this you?

Since you’re reading this, I’m gonna make a few assumptions about you:

  • You’re 21 to 35 years old with an entrepreneurial spirit
  • You make an alright living, but aren’t satisfied with your life.
  • You think there’s more to life than what you’re doing right now.
  • You wanna grow, live a meaningful life and most importantly, find what makes you happy.
  • You crave adventure and like learning but starting something new is scary and you’re not sure what the next step is.
  • You love puppies and sunshine.

Was I right!?

This blog had around 50,000 readers last month and I received hundreds emails from people just like you asking for advice on those topics.

But guess what?

I don’t have the answer.

First world freak out: I spent 200 miles on this road in Nevada without seeing another person and zero cell phone service.

Traveling to find myself

I’m just like you and am trying to figure this whole life thing out too.

The only difference between you and me is that I’m writing about it and am bombarding my Facebook followers with photos as I actively figure out what makes me happy. (Friend me here, but be warned: I own a selfie-stick and am not afraid to use it.)

You see, I’m healthy, happy, LOVE life, and live in beautiful San Francisco…so in the grand scheme of things of things I really can’t complain.

But I’m not satisfied. Not even close. And I’m trying to figure out what I wanna do with my life.

One thing that I DO know is that I refuse to passively settle down in a borrrrring 9-to-5 life and just hope the answer will come…cuz it won’t.

Fear Of Missing Out

And that, my good friend, is why I left my amazing dog, friends, and ridiculously cool gig in San Francisco to ride my motorcycle around the country.

I don’t have a final destination, nor a definite end time. I’m just embracing my inner hippie and going.

I don’t expect to have some wild drug induced epiphany and suddenly find the answer, but I do expect to figure out the next step with what I wanna do with my life.

Should I focus on Hustle Con? Spend all my cash traveling? Get a job so I can learn more?

I have NO idea. But I’m sure I’ll figure it out.

And until I do I’m gonna have the adventure of a lifetime traveling the country, meeting cool people, reading interesting books, eliminating useless noise, and being free.

You know, typical first world bullshit.

Because sometimes you just gotta leave it all behind, get out of your comfort zone, and figure shit out. Everything will be there when you get back. I promise.

Selfie sticks...never leave home without it.

How’s it going so far?

I’m one month into my trip and I’ve never felt so alive. Every second riding has been an absolute blast. I’ll write an entire post about some of the things I’ve learned and the logistical stuff, in case you want to travel too and copy my ways, but here’s a brief list of things I’ve learned:

  1. Traveling is WAY cheaper than you think. I spend around $20-$60 per day.
  2. America is freakin’ HUGE and has every type of geography you can imagine.
  3. Poor people love lotto tickets
  4. The South has the most beautiful women in the country. Yeah, I said it.
  5. Traveling alone is exhilarating
  6. Honda makes the greatest motors on earth.

  58. I have realized some considerations through your website post. One other thing I would like to state is that there are plenty of games out there designed specifically for preschool age little ones. They include pattern acknowledgement, colors, family pets, and patterns. These usually focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This will keep a child engaged without having a sensation like they are studying. Thanks

  70. Thanks for your write-up on this web site. From my personal experience, there are occassions when softening up a photograph may provide the photographer with a dose of an creative flare. More often than not however, that soft blur isn’t precisely what you had planned and can often times spoil a normally good photograph, especially if you anticipate enlarging it.

  71. I have observed that in cameras, special receptors help to focus automatically. Those kind of sensors connected with some cams change in in the area of contrast, while others work with a beam of infra-red (IR) light, particularly in low light. Higher specs cameras from time to time use a combination of both devices and probably have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‘See’ your face while focusing only in that. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this site.

  72. One other thing is that an online business administration course is designed for college students to be able to easily proceed to bachelor’s degree courses. The 90 credit diploma meets the lower bachelor college degree requirements then when you earn the associate of arts in BA online, you will possess access to the modern technologies in this particular field. Some reasons why students would like to get their associate degree in business is because they can be interested in the field and want to receive the general knowledge necessary before jumping in a bachelor education program. Thanks alot : ) for the tips you really provide as part of your blog.

We drove back to my apartment and we both put two hits of acid under our tongues about 15 minutes before arriving. By the time we reached and were walking up the stairs to my second floor apartment it was starting. A lady was walking by and I couldn’t contain myself and starting cackling like a madman. We reached my door, opened it, and went inside quickly. To read more, go to http://www.AutisticWritings.com

SECOND FACT: 9-11 was done by Israel’s Mossad. Google “Masters of Deception PDF” and read that 240 page ebook. It proves that Mossad and top Jews in America committed the 9-11 terrorist attacks. THIRD FACT: Jews are the ones behind pushing for mass immigration from 3rd world countries into the West, Jews created feminism, Jews created communism, Jews control Hollywood, Jews control the banking system, Jews started all the wars as Jews are in top government positions that push for wars, Jews own the media (85 of the media in America is owned by jews). In short, jews are responsible for 90 of everything evil in this world. The Holocaust never happened but maybe it should? The Holocaust is not such a bad idea, actually.

  106. I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women? American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least. This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

  111. We need to legalize prostitution immediately. The main reason is so that men can have an easy sexual outlet and thus instead of wasting massive amounts of their mental energy on trying to get sex from women, men can simply PAY MONEY FOR SEX and then spend the rest of their time doing whatever they want to do. Of course women don’t want to legalize prostitution. If men could get sex easily and cheaply, most men would no longer bother dating or marrying women and thus women would no longer be able to act as financial parasites off of men. Legalizing prostitution is the GREATEST thing we could do to sexually liberate MEN! Or, here’s an even cooler idea. American men could simply travel to Tijuana, Asia, Germany, Amsterdam, Thailand, etc, where prostitution is already legal. Most western women, i.e. WHITE women are useless shit anyway so even if prostitution was legalized in America, you would just see a bunch of fat ass white bitches becoming prostitutes. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! Even a fucking prostitute from a 3rd world country is a better deal than normal American women. That’s how fucking useless most white western women are. Anyway aside from that, I wrote an essay called “Are Prostitutes Better than Normal Women?” here: http://www.happierabroad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30801
