Stop Having A Boring Life Already!
Hello kind people of the interwebz,
This blog is about the journey of a guy who resigned from his executive job, sold his home and liquidated his assets all in order to stop living a boring life. Life was good, dare I say “comfortable” but in the end the only thing that brings happiness is satisfaction.
This blog is for people who dare to be different, who dare to take the bull by the horns so to speak and make some excitement in their lives before they get old and boring. Some people are totally cool living boring lives and they may even find them “fascinating”. If you are living a boring life, (no matter how good you have it) you’ll know you are. You won’t be satisfied in the core of your soul. This blog is about finding satisfaction, excitement and taking the “road less traveled”.
I am writing this from a wonderful view of Vancouver. I resigned a few weeks ago and spent the last week getting everything “in order”. Today was the first day of travel and I’m now happily in one of my favorite cities in the world. I plan on staying here and in Victoria until Mid October before going overseas. Whether it is Africa or Asia, I’m not sure but it will be one of them.
This blog will discuss methods and means for people to get their lives in such a way that they can obtain “freedom”. Freedom is one of the key ingredients to stop having a boring life. This blog will also outline many disgusting debt pits the youth of today must avoid like the plague if freedom, excitement and adventure are priorities.
I digress.
It’s almost 4PM and I’m going for a leisurely stroll down Robson to see “what’s happening” and get a drink of something delicious. I will be updating this often with a wide array of topics I find exciting, so stay tuned. Hopefully I can connect with other like minded individuals that realize life is short and it should be an adventure, not a quest to maintain security.
So many people spend their lives being “comfortable” and by this I mean working 9-5 for 40 years in a job that they are not passionate about and following the millions of other cars on the most played out highway of life. Why not try something different?
That said, I say good day to you and urge you to please … STOP HAVING A BORING LIFE!
I am very excited to hear all the details so make sure you update this as often as you possibly can!!! 🙂
IMC – I actually went to one of your seminars in toronto once, well aware of what you guys do.
We should keep in touch as the internet is where I plan on making the bulk of my income today, tomorrow and indefinitely.
@Jill – haha who could that be 😀 I will keep you updated and make a trip through to hang out in Mass for a LONG TIME!
@Mike – That deal you mentioned in the plurk sounds awesome. Looking forward to it and I now have a reason to come through there. I’ve heard Tunisia is beautiful.
Nice lunker.

Congrats on taking the first step forward. I will be following your story intensely. I think this is the beginning of a great adventure story.
Can’t wait to kick off your new life with you. Welcome back!
I’m with you. No reason to have a boring life. Great first post. I’ll look forward to coming back to get your advice. So when you coming to visit us?
See you soon,

This is awesome! Congrats on the new blog and the new life. I look forward to reading about your adventures!
Did you really sell your house for this? Where are you going to live in when you get home? Or are you not thinking of a future that distant?
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck during your travels, and have lots of fun 🙂 Oh, and take lots of pictures 🙂
Thats great LL. Welcome to the Gang!
Make sure you have a budget
Congratulations. Victoria is amazing and I hope your time on the island. I’ve recently moved from the comforts of Canada to Eastern Europe in a somewhat similar vein as the one you describe. I’m excited to see how your adventure unfolds.
Thanks for all the great comments everyone.
@Pelf – I’ll just pick up where I left off.
@jworthy “Indeud” lol I hear great things about eastern europe and looking forward to checking it out. How you liking it there?
@Mike – Sounds good except about a trojan on the website.
It is beautiful! We’re going on a 3 day tour next week taking a one hour camel ride in the desert. Then visiting a Christian Church from the 4th century. We get cool weather here too. Sousse got to 35F last winter.
Send me an email a couple weeks or more before you come, if you want help with the reservations. We have an agreement with a good hotel. I was going to give you a link, but found it has a trojan on the home page.
Nice idea, I wish I could do that. I have book marked this blog so I will def come back to it. Good Luck.
Can’t wait to catch up on all that I have missed thus far!!! Good for you for doing what most people only dream of!
Bonjours mon ami!!! I would love to play a round of golf in my tuque but my partner is gone!! wonder if Jonny the boy would keep me compagny…lol well enjoy your non boring life..see you later….
I realized I was in a “wheelchair” wedged in a box for like 14 years and decided to quit my secure and stable job to travel and learn to fly helicopters. I’m almost 3 months into the adventure and am getting my travel legs back and doing some local travel in the states which I must say is fascinating. Seeing bread lines and tent cities in California has really impacted me and am curious to see beyond our own borders and really get a sense of what’s going on globally. Thanks for the excellent tips.

Hey Rob! I feel a little late to the party I just started my travels this October, but this post is exactly what I was thinking when I decided to leave. I see you haven’t been to South America yet. If your ever in Uruguay hit me up! Great stuff on this blog!
Stoked for you and hopefully see you on the road. My family and I are leaving the rat race in 1.5 years bound for Nicaragua to start. Thanks for the great blog!
