Laid back gypsy from Americas' West Coast. Horizon chaser, cuisine conosuer, music player, art enthusiast, lover of culture. My life, a Phoenix metaphor, freedom fighter, more a window then a tire, more a river then a fire, happy in a hut but ready for an empire. Lifes a garden, dig it.

“‘It’s a dangerous business, going out of your door,” ‘You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to.'”

True words, but so are ones like, "fortune favors the brave". Its all about how far you're willing to go. What's of value to you? What is your fortune? Sometimes you've gotta just jump. "Just jump". Easier to go all in when you've got nothing to lose. In may 2016 I jumped, I went all in and it was the best decision of my life. What was a 1 month trip to one country has turned into over 3 years, 7 country's, a beautiful wife and a gorgeous baby girl.
Buy the ticket take the ride. In my case I didn't take the full ride home but instead bought another ticket with money I didn't have to a place I knew nothing about that I shouldn't have been allowed into. And here we are. Can't wait for what's next!
