3 Months, 5 Currencies, 6000 photos, 150 Restaurant Meals, 40 Hours of Wake boarding, 3 Police Bribes, 2 Seven Foot Bull Sharks, 1 Elephant and more massages than can be safe for one man – Here is 90 days in the life of a traveling entrepreneur.

Ok so the first three months are up and so it’s time for a post looking back at what I have done over the last 90 days while living my life as a Traveling Entrepreneur. If you have been thinking about it, I hope this inspires you to take the challenge and make the leap.

More than any other post, if this inspires you and you think It can help others then please spread it around. I would love to hear people have finally gone an done it and lived their dreams and if this post helps then I am happy. I cannot recommend this lifestyle enough.

Once I took the plunge, quit my job and moved abroad to Thailand the three months have been the most intense of my life. Here are aome highlighta.

Zip-lined through the RainForest
Went Baboo Rafting

Got my open water Paddy License

Scuba Dived with Bull Sharks

Travelled 65Km down the Mekong River
Drove through the Laos Mountain Passes
Motobiked through the jungle.

Eaten my own weight in Ice-cream – per week

Swam in my own private pool every morning I could
Repeatedly kick my American friends ass at pool
Travelled on the Death Railway
Visited the Killing Fields
Learnt to Haggle like a pro

Had a cut throat shave in a hut in the middle of nowhere

Had the most increible hair cut experience of my life by a Lady Boy
Almost died on every type of asia transport possible.

Starred in a Dog Food TV Advert

Lost more that 8 pints of blood to damn mosquitos
Stayed in too many guest houses to count
Completed many many hundreds of miles and hours traveling through rich scenery

Got a good way through my first two novels

Developed my pictomins idea
Grew though my blogging

The Ultimate Conclusion

.

All in all I Had the most incredible 3 Months of my life and most importantly:

I ESCAPED THE RAT RACE

I actually made more money through my businesses then I spent when I was away and had an insane amount of free time to pursue my own future ideas as well

My hope is that this post will inspire others to do the same. It is a risk but trust me, the risk is definately worth.

So there you go, what three months might look like if you take the risk and get out of the rat race. It has been wet, rough and very tiring but I loved every minute of it. My laptop, watch and camera are off to India in January so more adventures to follow.

Wet, Tired and Feeling Good

Wet, Tired and Feeling Good

This blog was set up to document my experience and help and inspire others to do the same. I was going to end it come the end of my three months but it has grown in popularity more than I would have guessed and so now I will take it on. I hope that you will continue to follow it here and thankyou for reading.

I am leaving the spectacular city that is Bangkok in the next few days and will be back in England for 6 weeks before heading out again to travel India for 3 months but I will still be blogging, so I hope you continue to follow.

Let me know if this post has inspired you or any questions you would like me to answer just send them through and check out the Flicker Photos.

If you know anyone that would benefit from reading this post then spread it around through twitter, facbook and the like. Remember it makes you instantly more attractive to the opposite sex.

From Bangkok for the last time for a while.

Peace.
