I can only say that I just wish that I was that brave

Enjoy the article, and see just how little cash you require, to enjoy travelling

Gday...

Good read ... but I wonder whether your comment on "how little money you require, to enjoy travelling" ... some of those jobs/careers he gained have a pretty good pay rate. They certainly would have financed his further journeys for a fair while.

No different to us poor old pharts retire, hit the road, do a few jobs, move on and spend the money, a piddly job again, move on etc etc.

It is a GOOD life for sure. I thoroughly recommend it.     

Cheers - John

A few weeks ago I was having trouble getting to sleep so I started counting (not sheep) but the countries of the world I have visited. Got to 60 & hadn't finished. So glad to have done this plus seen such a lot of Oz. Travelling is my forte but maybe medical problems are going to cause my passport to sit around idly for a while. Oh well. I've had a great time. Cheers Alice

Hello kandagal (Alice)
Hope that I am not overstepping the line, or being too informal

After reading some of your posts, you strike me as a very determined Lady

Having had a few medical setbacks in the past, I can feel perhaps just a little bit, of what you have been through

I wish you all the best in your medical battles, and sincerely hope that you have many more opportunities to either use your passport, or see more of Oz

Also Merry Christmas
