I quit my job, bought an army truck, and spent 19 months circumnavigating Africa
I also quit my Software Engineering job, and I&#x27;m driving around Africa right now!<p>I decided I didn&#x27;t want to sit at a desk for 30 years to pay off a mortgage, so I&#x27;m not going to. Dumping my life savings into this likely means I&#x27;ll never have a new car, big screen TV or new iPhone, but I&#x27;d rather have this experience than those things.<p>In 2009 I spent two years driving from Alaska to Argentina too.<p>The details on the Jeep I built into my house are here: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;OLK3o" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;OLK3o</a><p>I&#x27;m filming a YouTube series as I go:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;c&#x2F;theroadchoseme" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;c&#x2F;theroadchoseme</a><p>And you can follow the adventure in real time across social media:<p>Facebook: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;facebook.com&#x2F;theroadchoseme" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;facebook.com&#x2F;theroadchoseme</a><p>Instagram: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instagram.com&#x2F;theroadchoseme" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instagram.com&#x2F;theroadchoseme</a><p>Twitter: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;dangrec" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;dangrec</a><p>And my website: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;theroadchoseme.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;theroadchoseme.com</a>
