Johnny Ward

This Irish guy just knew there was more to life than just a 40+ hour work week and 2 week break every year. Although he grew up with his single mother he managed to find a way to travel indefinitely without having to break the bank. He had his ups and downs and now he can say that he’s a “lifestyle designer” and travels the world indefinitely. Whenever he gets too tired of travelling, he goes back to his apartment in Bangkok, Thailand.
He’s visited 141 countries (out of 193) and considers Thailand to be his “home”. We can learn a lot from him:
