I’m on a journey that has no planned destination. It’s a quest to experience life on the move.

As long as I remember, I frequently moved places, shifted my base in an attempted to have a ‘settled life’. Soon I realised that the moment I was comfortable with a place and its environment, I became lazy, stagnant and saturated. But every time I moved out my comfort zone I was motivated about life and living. Hence, this journey is an endeavor to travel forever.

This choice was made a few years ago. Since then I’ve been preparing consciously to keep all attachments at bay, living in a minimalist manner to avoid extra baggage while being on the move. No loans, no credit card. The corporate job I held for 10 years was only a medium to repay all my impulsive misventures undertaken to be recognised in the system. The take away: I developed skills that can now be used in my life on the road.

With all my belongings loaded on a 1980 bullet I headed towards the mountains in July 2010.

Life on the road isn’t very different from our everyday life, it’s just the uncertainly that is in your face all the time. You eat, you drink, you sleep, you work, you keep yourself busy, you socialize, you laugh, sometimes little things upset you, you experience success and failure, you discover, you miss loved ones, you enjoy isolation. There are joyous moments; there are disturbing moments. You take in everything and move on.

My mantra on the road: Desire all that you want but live with only a few basic essentials. Uncertainty will be the only certainty about this life on the road to Further and Beyond.
