I envy this man

by Vlad on 24/07/2008

I always liked stories about an ordinary Joe doing something extraordinary.

Matt is a 31-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. Matt achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he’d saved to wander around Asia until it ran out.

Check out the whole story at Where The Hell is Matt?, it’s quite amazing. I can only dream about traveling the world like him.

    For some reason reading this guys story reminds me of fight club (minus the whole anarchy thing) but in the way that you really dont need all this commercialism crap. but i envy anyone who can do something they love and it works out for them.
