Read my thoughts from a year ago on my 2 years travelversay. On March 13, 2007 I sat in the offices of Edina Realty near my home in Minnesota and signed the documents which transferred ownership of my home to the family which purchased it. I handed them the keys and from that moment, I was a man without a home. That is the moment I mark as the beginning of my adventure. Fast forward 1097 days later and I’m in a pub in Bangkok, Thailand writing my 1,550th blog post on the second laptop I’ve gone through since I’ve started. Someone reading this will probably leave the 7,402nd comment to be left on my blog. 1,250,000 have taken a look at my site and tens of thousands have bothered to follow long on various social networks. I’ve been to over 70 countries, 110 World Heritage Sites , and I can’t even count the distance I’ve traveled. A helluva lot has happened in three years. It is difficult to describe just how much my life has changed. In the last 1,000 days I’ve seen and experienced more than most people do in a lifetime. I’ve been on islands, mountains, caves, forests and deserts. I’ve seen the lights of Hong Kong and the ruins of Rome. I’ve swam with jellyfish in Palau , whale sharks in Australia , and the ruins of the Lighthouse of Alexandria .
