What is my why

I have just signed up with BootsnAll for a 30day program exercise and day 2 is about the whys
  • I want to see the world before I am old. 
  • Because I would regret it on my death bed if I didn't (this was my original why - it has changed). 
  • I just got fired/divorced/graduated/quit, and the time is now to embrace change.
  • I'm not sure what I want to do, and I feel uninspired in my current life. Long-term travel may help open and challenge my assumptions of what is possible.
  • I want to learn about a specific part of the world, and going there is the best way.
  • Because I can!
  • I want to see the 7 wonders of the world.
  • I want to taste and visit the 7 best wine regions in the world.
  • I want to learn via experience (see, smell, hear, touch) not just reading or watching youtube videos. 
  • Me (and my partner) are middle-aged and lots of the encumberances and commitments of life are gone (kids, mortgages etc). Instead of buying an RV, we want to see the world together.
  • I want to try my hand at being location independent or a permanent nomad. A RTW trip is the perfect way to start to explore this lifestyle.
So funny enough, what are my whys? There's alot of truth from the above and I don't think I have a specific why but it wouldn't be things like discover myself but from experience, you would learn something from traveling so self discovery is a bonus but I am not so lost that I need to go somewhere to find myself all over again.

I think it's because I want to. It's something that I knew I wanted to do but always think it's impossible but not anymore. So why waste time? I am not getting any younger and it will get harder as you get older, not impossible but just harder.

That painting would look great over my bed.
You definitely have wanderlust in your blood.

Do you remember?

Of late, I have been home consistently early (my definition of early is different very lar) and one of the things that I've noticed on TV was the return of shows from the past. I suppose kids/cikus these days might not know but those who are somewhat old enough in the 90s will know this - back in the day we don't even have more than 5 TV channels and there was no Internet nor iPhone or anything else. Any form of entertainment on TV - Chinese language would either came from Hong Kong (in VHS tape, TV series) or locally produced. Back then HVD was the giant production house who produced tons of Chinese and Malay TV series. Looking back, the quality aint that bad - just that I noticed guys back then like to wear vest, oversized clothing, some even have suspenders, funny glasses and floppy hair. But of course the good times (and bad fashion) has to end, HVD went kaput during 1997's recession and all the actors lost their job. Most of them either tried their luck overseas or wen...
