Sometimes fate puts people in your life and you don't even know why. When I signed up for the Habitat for Humanity build, I did so with 3 other friends. Unfortunately, two couldn't make it at the last minute, so we had to join a team of two other people, one of whom was a guy named Brandon. He was outgoing and funny and had me in good spirits through the entire build. I knew that we'd become very good friends, but as luck would have it, I didn't get the chance to really know him (or see him again, for that matter), because he left NY two weeks after the build.
He left his family, friends, a great job and everything he knew to go travel the world. And he didn't even really know why he was doing it, just that he had to. Sounds crazy, right? Yet, I was very inspired by the few brief conversations we had about his leaving. He was one of the catalysts in me booking (my now foiled) trip to Thailand, and had a little bit to do with Brazil as well.
Since he's gone, he's had some amazing experiences, and has been kind enough to document them. I can't wait to see what he does next. Brandon is doing what he loves, and has inspired me to do the same...I'm already looking for my next destination after Brazil with plans for Japan in summer '09. :)
Are you doing what you love?
