Being on the road permanently can test you in many ways. It can test your strength, your mental awareness. your trustworthiness, your passion. These tests are sent to us to make us improve in many ways. Thats the great thing about travelling you don’t even realise that all this is happening to you whilst you are trying to find accommodation for the night or emailing your CV somewhere!! It brings out traits within you that you never knew you had. It opens many doors for you that would never have been opened if you had never packed in the 9-5 Monday to Friday grind!!!

Sometimes on the road it can become quite frustrating and a few hurdles need to be jumped in order to move on. For example like applying for Visas, language barriers, being ripped off by the locals and so on. But after a little bit of time and becoming an observer you soon start to see how the mechanics of a country work and get a feel for the pace for the place you are in. For example, living in the Caribbean, do not expect to get anything done quickly. Everything is completed on ‘Island time’. The West Indies is a fascinating part of the world and lives by its own rules. The locals prefer to have another rum over there, rather than deliver your produce on time and make a few extra EC dollars!! Its just time like these when you just shrug your shoulders and say ‘Wag Wan’!!
