Bio - Jeff's Mid-Life Crisis goes Round the World (RTW)

Bio

My name is Jeff Michie, I am a 41 year old single guy currently living in Rising Sun, Indiana. I have quit my job, sold my house, got rid of all my stuff, packed my backpack and am embarking on a year+ long journey 'round the world as a budget and independent traveler.

I will begin my travels in Bangkok on December 20th when my one-way plane ticket delivers me to this fun and exciting cross-roads of SE Asia. Where I go from there, who knows??

This is a brief bio as my future blog entries will give much more detail on who I am and what my plans are.

I am really looking forward to this journey and year of focusing my life on traveling. This blog will be an important part of my life while I'm on the road as it will be a means of communicating with family and friends and will give me a life-long written memory of this chapter in my life.

Please read on!

Thank you for reading this. I hope to make this blog both interesting and entertaining. Please post a comment and let me know your thoughts, observations or counsel. Hearing from readers and knowing I have an audience is a great motivator and will be a great morale booster during down times on the road. Don't forget to bookmark this site and tell a friend!

I have admired your writing skills from the first DOD you reported on; I will follow your blog closely... Even if it makes me jealous.

Stay Safe!

I wanted to be the first to leave you a comment, but Patrick beat me to it! You don't have to go you know, but we all know that you want to. Best wishes to you and all the places you plan to visit.
We will miss you!

Congratulations on your being able to do this Jeff. When Andy first told me, I thought you were crazy. After reading this, I have to say I understand and I'm envious.

Cooky sent me your site from the computer upstairs. I don't get a chance to get on line up there very often, so when your Mom suggested Web tv in the living room we jumped at the chance. We all admire you in your desire to see more of this world we live in. A perfect antidote to Comfortably Numb (one of my favorite songs). You will likely have many adventures and the memories will last a lifetime. But if an Arab starts to give you some shit just tell them you are Canadian...
We will follow your adventures and try to let you know we are along for the ride so to speak. Happy Trails, Steve
