About me

I’m just guy from England who one day thought “is this it? Am I suppose to just work and clock in every day, and maybe just spend 2 weeks abroad each year if I’m lucky?” So I quit my job and sold everything I owned! What I had left, I put in a backpack and then purchased a one way ticket to Thailand in January 2016.

I have now been travelling on this one long trip since then (yup, nearly 2 years!), going all over Asia and the Middle East and experiencing so many great things. I just love to see the world and meet new people. You can see my route so far here: www.polarsteps.com/norealplan

I'm now in Canada, experiencing their winter and learning to snowboard. Also looking to network and socialise with other travellers!
