Welcome!
To the first edition of my new blog!
It was promised months ago that i was going to created this blog reflecting on my travels.
Now sitting on the pier with coffee in hand, waiting to embark on a big floating Tasmanian vessel seems like the perfect time to pen some words.
The weeks leading up to the beginnings of my adventure have been filled with mixed emotions.
Quitting my Job, Selling my business and moving from a fix residence into my neatly compact maintenance vehicle have all been challenges I felt i was ready to undertake!
Having to condense my life into what felt like 2 cubic meters and still be able to sleep on top of it! Is a liberating and trying experience. It amazes me how one can accumulate so much "stuff" and none of it have any impact or use in my life today.
Taking the Plunge
Music, Music, Music!
Music has been the in my life since i can remember! Whether it be rushing to finish my dinner so i can perform for my family or by traveling to scotland to play with my sister. I have alway approached it with passion and joy.
But never in my 28 years of living have i ever given it everything, completely succumbed. So as exhilarating as this is for me there is a predefined voice naging me from the inners of my mind saying "you wont make enough money", "You should be buying a house" etc etc.
But screw that! I welcome you to my journey and i hope you enjoy reading my updates as i endeavour to keep them as regular as possible!
My first stop is Tasmania!
Having never visited this part of Australia i sit here on the pier with nervous anticipation. Playing my first show on Saturday night "Iron horse bar and grill" and then cruising down to hobart to play "The Republik Bar" Weds, (Anzac Day) I look forward to a fun filled few weeks with too many drinks consumed too much fishing done and overall a great time!
Please feel free to share around if you have made it this far!
Until we meet again!
