I've spent many of the years of my prime seated in front of a Mac editing videos to help other people make money and, in some instances, get richer and richer. Every year I say to myself that I'm finally going to make enough money to seek adventure, new frontiers, distant lands - to break the monotony of work firmly seated at a computer in order to get out in the world and make s**t up as I go.
But that time never comes. Sure you take a short trip or two, visit with friends because you can't afford a hotel...it helps, but it isn't enough.
This video is an example of what I have to do to get a taste of adventure when I'm tired of the monotony of my work week.
