Ask HN: What did you do after quitting the IT industry and how have things been?
I quit my Software Engineering job and am now spending two years driving my Jeep around Africa.<p>I'm working while on the road, writing for magazines, selling photos and filming a YouTube series.<p>I am having the time of my life, and am extremely happy I made the decision I did. IMHO, sitting at a desk is just not worth it. Life is too short. I'm meeting a ton of people who agree, and are living the kind of life people spend their lives dreaming about.<p>If you're interested in my trip:<p>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/theroadchoseme" rel="nofollow">https://facebook.com/theroadchoseme</a><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theroadchoseme" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/theroadchoseme</a><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/dangrec" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/dangrec</a><p>YouTube <a href="http://youtube.com/c/theroadchoseme" rel="nofollow">http://youtube.com/c/theroadchoseme</a><p>And my website: <a href="http://theroadchoseme.com" rel="nofollow">http://theroadchoseme.com</a>
