I Did Some Incredible Things
.
- Dived in the warm waters of Goa
Explored Goa on a Royal Enfield Bullet
And abused lax health and safety laws
Was unofficially married to her for three weeks
But still managed to get some decent rock time in
As well as have some very strange implements used on me
- Went drinking in style
Walked for two hours barefoot over lava flow
Got lost in the wild
Walked for two hours barefoot over lava flow
Got lost in the wild
.
I Saw Some Incredible Things
.
Cows on streets, in homes, restaurants and even the beach
Some questionable facial hair
Lifestyles that opened my eyes
Stunning Beaches
...and landscapes
...and creatures
This guy
...these guys
...and a camel
As well as views like this...
...and this
.
I Ate Some Incredible Things
.
Healthy from time to time
Odd some of the time
Truly odd
Fresh most of the time
Sensational some of the time
And also a lot of sugar
Drinks were pretty good too
.
I met some incredible people
.
Like this lot
And this lot
And these three
These two
And this lot
And him
These two
Those two
Him
Them
And a few others as well

It has been an incredible 9 months so far for me personally and so I want to give back to people in return for the good things that have come my way in life. This blog is my way of giving back and on it I discuss how you too can go about creating your idea lifestyle. I hope you continue to follow it and continue to derive real value from this blog for as along as I can keep my caffine fueled fingers moving.

Thanks to all my readers for being awesome.

Beautiful photos! Makes me want to go to India. Thanks for putting them up.
You definitely should Carmen, its an experience to say the least, will expand your reality greatly.
Incredibly inspirational! What type of camera do you use? And where too next? Stay safe and happy travels!
Hi Amber,
Thanks for the comment and great to hear you are inspired. I was travelling with a Cannon 1000D with a 18-55 lens. Its a great entrey level SLR and can standup to some rough housing and the dust of India so highly recommend it. Next plans are towards Argentina or the Philippines.
Great photos! Makes me want to go there.
Hi NP,
Glad it inspired, I hope you get the opportunity to experience India someday, it is well worth the trip.
Awesome stuff Jon! Your photo posts are always exceptional.
Curious, do you ever plan on talking about your business on the blog or keeping it mostly lifestyle related? Would be curious to hear about the former as well.
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the compliments as photography is a big hobby of mine and so it is always nice to get feedback.
Regarding the blogs topics it has been something I have been thinking about for a while now. I am putting together a survey for the blogs readers to see what they want more of. At the moment, as you rightly observe, it is more about lifestyle but the two other topics I am passionate about, business and wealth generation are areas I am looking to explore and open up to here at thelifething.com.
Thanks for the comment perhaps business topics will follow shortly.
Hi Jonny, I’m with Brian – would love to read about your business venture/s as well as lifestyle topics.
Hi Lauren,
Thanks for the comment, it seems that people want more on business and we have to give the people what they want so more business I think it will be. Also, love your globe trooper site, any time you would like to guest post on this site you are more than welcome. I am sure that many of my readers would love what you do and it might help them take that final step and taking the leap. Let me know.
Great photos. The pictures really do say it all. If these don’t inspire people I don’t know what will. Keep it up man.
Cheers Kenji, always great to have you hear on the site.
Those are some really nice pictures. the picture above “And also a lot of sugar” is one of my favourite things to eat in India.
Goa is a good place to visit.
Great pictures! You definitely had some good times.
That I did John.
As a heads up, your site seems not to be showing any posts at the moment.
Great photos Jonny
Great inspiration for someone about to buy their first ticket overseas from starting an online business!
Andy
Cheers Andy and great to hear you are about to do the same. Good luck my friend and prepare to have your world seriously expanded.
Brilliant Jonny…I could look at those photos all day!
Glad to hear (and see) that your adventure in India was so rewarding…
Hi Earl,
No doubt you have been through India on your extensive travels and so you know what I mean when I say it really was spectacular.
Fantastic photos, Jonny! I love seeing (and hearing) about others’ world adventures. I wished I captured mine so beautifully. Great to see you pumping stuff out again!
Cheers Mark, glad to see you are back reading. Your post on “Confessions of a thief” was awesome.
That is very awesome Jonny! What will be your next trip?
Hello Osc,
When did you get over 2000 subscribers, thats awesome.
Some of my posts have been particularly appreciated, that’s how I guess
I am jealous.
Wow!
The word to use!
I want to be like you when I grow up
I really admire the way you just travel and experience the world
Hope I can, one day, do the same
First Europe then… the world! (But first home
)
Thank you for the inspiration!
Hi Ana,
Welcome to the site and thanks for you comments. I am glad they inspired and perhaps I will meet you around the world some day.
Hey Jonny, Have become quite an avid reader of your blog since discovering you about a month ago. Keep up the good work.
I’m off travelling south east asia at the end of june for 10 weeks and can’t wait. I love your travel photo’s and noticed in your original “3 months of a travelling entrepeneur” post you’re holding a cannon dslr.
I’m looking at the 450d myself, any advice or recommendations on camera’s or lenses or travel photography in general?
Much appreciated.
Jay
Hi Jay,
Thanks for the comments and thanks for visiting the site. I’m jealous, you are going to have a great time travelling, make sure you hit Thailand, Lao and Cambodia. I did indeed go travelling with a DSLR, mine was the entry level 1000D with a 18-55mm lens. I love the 1000D because it is light and robust but if you can finance a 450 I would go for that and get better picture clarity. In terms of lenses when travelling it depends on how avid a photographer you are. I travel light so can’t carry multiple lenses though I found having a standard 18-55 was awesome because it meant you had to get up close and personal with your subject (perfect if photographing good looking Swedish girls).
Best tip I can give with the Cannon is to shoot in sports mode when you don’t have time to adjust the setting properly. This will get most of the setting “about right” and you can tweak it all back on the computer.
Hope this helps mate and enjoy your trip.
