I think the moment mine came was when I took my first bungee jump in New Zealand. I was back-packing with a couple of friends and I hadn't planned on doing it for one second, just on watching some others go for the dive. I didn't hesitate on the platform, they said 3, 2, 1, jump and I went flying through the air... I stopped being so scared after that, I realised I want to feel and see all the amazing things out there, everything, as much as possible. Why live on the edge, when you can jump off into the unknown? I agree, a really beautiful post.

After that? Some other country (random to a degree, because people will be voting where I go every 4 months on my website, http://ExileLifestyle.com). I cannot wait for the experiences that I'm going to have, the people I'm going to meet and the stories I'll have to tell. This post came at a very welcome moment in my life!

You brought me out there into the 100 mile wilderness. Personally, I traveled a lot as a child, but the moment when I realized that I could take a totally unconventional life path empowered by travel probably came in Camodia when I was 22 years old and saw just how messed-up it was and how much I could do there. The sense of total, untapped potential. Intoxicating. Beautiful post. You brought me out there into the 100 mile wilderness.
