But the reality is that you're gonna have a little bit more planning behind it. I, and I lived the, the attic lifestyle. Like I said, I, I moved, picked up and moved to Thailand. And then one day in Thailand, without really teaching English to adults and at the university, I wanted to go somewhere where there's no Burger King, there's no 7-Eleven, there's no this, there's no that.

And I basically walked into a travel agency. Where can I go that I could afford? And she said, go to Myanmar. So I did, I went to Myanmar and did nothing about it was took a suitcase. And then I lived there for a year and a half learning my way. I was there, but looking back, that was just novel. Oh, it's foreign. It's new. It's different. It's unknown. I'll like leap into it and don't do it.

And a single person now, anyone can do that, but it didn't really have a purpose in mind. And the thing is novelty is great, but novelty wears off. You're there for a year and a half, and then you wake up one morning and it happens again. Oh, I'm bored. I've done this. I've learned these things that are really cool and interesting.

And okay, let's go move here or let's go try this or let's do whatever. The other thing that I might add is that change addict, like whenever you're with some kind of adversity, it takes as much, if not more focus to get through to the end. The lucky thing for me was, well, I've started this degree. I got to finish it. Or I started in this job. I got to be here at least this amount of time.

I've started learning this language. I've focused at least enough so I can do some kind of benchmark. And it's a lot, it's a lot harder when you have to do that, when it is just chasing novelty. So I think, yeah, like the change addict part, there's a lot of people that will do that. And actually I'm a little bit different.

If you start something and it's not for you, you should really just chuck it in and go find a thing that you want. There's opportunity cost as we all know, right? But if you don't wrap things up or if you don't complete them to a certain extent, later on, I don't really know how you could pull out the value. And as we get into other topics, but maybe you can apply it to more.

But if you haven't finished it, you're never going to get there. So the way that I came about this concept of change addict, and addict is the harsh word, but you really can be addicted to change and to novel.

No, that's a great question, Vince. And I think at the beginning, I thought it would be in hindsight, which is lovely to have. But I think at the time it was like I mentioned adversity, but and I also mentioned boredom. For me, like when I didn't have responsibility, right? It's just me. I'm the one that's responsible for myself. I gotta feed, clothe, house me.

There were many times where I was just like, you know what? I'm gonna change it. I'm gonna quit my job and I don't have anything else or I don't really have a plan to do anything else. And I'll just see what happens. And that's dangerous. There are people that can do it, but I don't like it. So I'm not going to push through the adversity. It's not going to help you later on in life. Absolutely.

If you're not happy with where you are and you're not, you don't think you're where you can be, or you're not being supported the way that you would like, then you certainly should look for other avenues and talk to a lot of people and Try different things, but you can try different things while you're doing something else that allows you to do that exploration.
