Wow, just wow. Fascinating and will Resteem as soon as I've finished this comment. Thanks for the shoutout.
I really love embarking on a new experiment and have a buddy do the same thing as you and you can compare notes along the way. So much better than doing everything on your own.
I've really enjoyed your company and your insights these last few days.
(Although I really don't like that you have a higher Reputation score than me, we'll have to forget about that for now.)
And, can you believe I've never been to Phu Chi Fa?
But, most of all, your story is inspiring. You turned your life around. I really hope you manage to inspire others here because you can help people.
Thanks buddy, really appreciate it!
I share the same feeling. It's great to have someone to share experiences, tools and strategies with!
I'm sure your reputation score will be higher than mine very soon. I mean, c'mon, you are THE Rob Cubbon 😜 . I read your stuff before we even met. I'm sure many Steemians have too.
You should definitely visit Phu Chi Fa. I had never heard of it until it was recommended to me by a friend, he mentioned this hidden gem that no Westerner seemed to know about. And it's true: when I walked up the mountain at 4am to see the sunrise, I wasn't the only one.
But I was the only person who wasn't Thai!
I hope my story, and my future posts, will inspire many Steemians. I feel a much more positive person since I turned my life around. I'm not gonna say it was easy: the safety of a job, comfort and familiarity is much easier. But I feel more alive, I meet much more interesting people like yourself. And I feel I've grown much more as a person by taking a leap of faith, and working hard to build a new life. A process that is still very much going on!
