Ok, so you’ve heard me say I live the perfect life… but I don’t exactly expect you to take my word for it.

That’s why, from time to time, you will see some of what I like to call “Lifestyle” posts where I share with you some of the things that I do to live the dream. I am not doing this to rub it in (actually… yes I am) but to show you that I am not bull-shitting when I say you can design the perfect lifestyle for yourself and be truly happy and fulfilled at any age. I am living proof you can. So all you bull-shitters out there… quit with the lame excuses. If I can do it, so can you.

To me, a huge part of living the dream is having the time, freedom and mobility to live life the way YOU want to do it. As many of you may already know… I am deeply passionate about traveling and spend almost any chance I get doing it. In fact, I

recently needed to get a new passport because my old one was filled to the brim with stamps from all the counties I have visited in the past 2 years (I have traveled to a total of 23 different countries in the past 23 months)! Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to say that the number of stamps in your passport is the only indicator of living the dream – but it sure as hell feels good to know you have the time, freedom and mobility to max-out a passport 3 years before it’s expiry date.

I have had my new passport for only 1 week and already have plans to put it to good use. In a few days I will be heading to Australia for a few weeks to dive the Great Barrier Reef and take in an Opera at the Sydney Opera House (among other things), then to Bali, Indonesia for a week to sun and surf it up! I will try my best to share with you some of my adventures during my travels. I also plan to spend some of my beach time working on something really special for all of you . Hope your next few weeks are as great as mine!

To Living The Dream,
