“Mum i want that one”

During our lives, we can change what we want all the time.

Remember when you were young and you wanted to be something…then as the years went on you may had changed what you wanted, then again and again and…again. Even in our 20′s 30′s and 40′s what we want can change soooo much. We grow as a person, we discover new things in the world, it is inevitable that our wants are going to change.

Then there’s me…someone who changes what he wants…..daily. Me and my mum speak near enough every day, and most times somewhere in the conversation she will say….”So Sam, what is it you have decided you want to do with your life today” Luckily my mum is used to my funny but impressive behaviour.

The thing is, what i want as in the end product, may change every day….but the core reason for why i have wanted anything over the last few years has stayed the same….There are 3 things about me that anyone who reads my blog regularly should know if they dont already.

1. I am at my happiest and best mental state when i am interacting and socialising ALOT on a daily basis.
2. I love being active as often as my body will allow.
3. I love, and i mean LOVE….doing something new i have never done. Basically i love Adventure.

These 3 things about me explain things like why i am a club promoter and manager, why i enjoy going to the gym so much and why i am so relaxed when i am doing something i have never done before. I have always known these characteristics about me on an unconscious level, but never on a conscious level until recently.

Last week around my birthday, i started to feel as if my life had become a bit mundane. Which would come as a shock to anyone who knows me and see’s what my life is like here in Manchester. To put it simply without being arrogant and just stating facts. I am a Local Celebrity in Manchester and mix with footballers, celebrities, high value people, hot girls, have a great job and had over 200 people attend my birthday last week, there was more but i know this was the rough amount. This is something i have created over the last few years since moving here and i am idolised for it. But now i feel as if i want more.

So once i realised this and looked at the 3 characteristics i know about myself….i started to research ways that i could fulfill this.

Vagabonding

I read one of Tim Ferriss’s recent blog posts, which was a guest post by Rolf Potts….I had never heard of him until reading it (aside from his book mentioned in 4 Hour Work Week)…..but i read his article…then went to his site…and discovered a new idea that was PERFECT for who i am….Vagabonding. Vagabonding is defined to be about ” taking time off from your normal life — from six weeks, to four months, to two years — to discover and experience the world on your own terms”. Its about Long-Term Travel…wow….even as i write this i am getting excited!!!

As i looked more into the whole Vagabonding idea….i came across another idea which again, suits my wants and needs perfectly…..Check this…..

“Are you fed up with having to live by the rules? The rules which say you have to work really hard, make lots of money just so you can buy a house with a big mortgage.

And then work even harder to pay off that mortgage, until you can retire with a nice little nest egg pension…and finally start enjoying your life?

That didn’t sound great to us – and if it doesn’t sound like the path you want to take either, you’ve come to the right place.”

This is taken from the About page of a website called Location Independent Professionals. It helps people get to grips with a world where you become Nomadic; you take everything you need wherever you go. Now if anyone has read my article about becoming Autonomous….you will have been able to guess how excited i must of got when i discovered all this information.

Nunomad’ing

Do many people know that because of advances in Social Media and The Internet in general….you can now work and earn a living from anywhere in the world with access to an Internet connection. Imagine that….you could travel ANYWHERE, live ANYWHERE. We are not bound by location. We are bound now simply by our own minds. There is a strong movement by people known as Nunomad’s; People who have Mobile Jobs and can work anywhere in the world AND travel and have fun at the same time. Thats the dream of all dreams….most people used to save up so they can travel for a year and then come back home!

This appeals to me because i have never been someone who is attached to their home or gets home sick. I am someone who….i try to be Autonomy Minded, meaning that i have everything i need wherever i go. I do not mind if i dont have my phone or if i cant go to the gym or  dont get that high quality meal. I can adjust to wherever i am. As said above….i am at ease in new places.

So knowing all this has made me believe that…..i want my life to now lead towards a few things……

• Working on the move….I can do this by utilising my speaking experience and abilities to speak at Personal Development and Dating events, utilising my writing abilities to work freelance. And a whole bunch of other skills i can take anywhere like using my Social Media resources for Marketing and Promotional purposes, Teaching English, computer skill’s, sales experience etc etc. Remember the average person has more skills than they realise. I could write a book on the Nutrition and Weight Training to get any body you wanted, that knowledge alone is worth alot.
• Travel across the world to as many difference places as possible; Currently my list consists of Italy, Latvia, Cuba, Argentina, Korea, Thailand, Israel ( to see my family) and Spain….Spain because i will AND I MEAN WILL marry a Spanish girl, they turn me on just thinking about them!
• To meet as many people in all the countries i go to (See here for an idea why)

What makes me excited right now is knowing that….there is something i know in the world that i can do that will make me ultimately happy. I have searched long and hard over the last few years and finally….i believe i may have found it.

So guys discover what the reason behind everything you do is, discover more about yourself, it will pay off big time.

Sam.

Question: Anyone have any experience of Vagabonding, being a Nunomad, or Mobile Living in general?
