‘Travelling has been in my blood since I was young. Both my grandparents and parents traveled a lot in their young days and I have been growing up with different artefacts from around the world in my house since I was young<\/em>\u2019, says a determined Christian<\/p>\n

He has earned through various odd jobs during his travels, including teaching<\/strong>, farm labour<\/strong>, hostel work<\/strong>, and assisting in a dive centre<\/strong>. ‘All the money I have spent on my traveling is money that I have earned myself<\/em>\u2019, says the wanderer who had used his savings to buy his first plane ticket when he decided to embark on this journey. Being independent has awarded him with a wealth of culture in all the places he visited, and though he experienced many ups and downs during his journey, they couldn\u2019t deter him from his passion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
