Only i can change my life.
Hi friends, my name is Michael Harris aka Mikey and welcome to my world. This is a world where we start doing more of the things we love —a world where we uplift, inspire, and encourage one another.
If you are wondering I am originally from Kansas City, Missouri… yes, I’m from the midwest! I lived there for 23 years of my life until I found myself in a desperate need of change. I packed my bags and relocated to New York City. In NYC I grew comfortable with my lifestyle consisting of work, gym, dinner, repeat. For work I found myself loving the real estate business. I was a part of a team who managed a residential property from its early stage in construction until it fulfilled full occupancy. I worked for another high rise in the heart of Manhattan which I loved, but something was always missing.
I've always seemed to question the world around me and I found that traveling has answered many of my questions. I have always loved partaking in activities where I could escape reality, and I noticed how I became my true authentic self while traveling. I create a world surrounded by my own goals and do what I want, not what I am told. Traveling is when I feel free. We all deserve to feel free, right?
Can we talk family for just a minute? My best friend in the entire universe has to be my grandmother, I call her GMA. She taught me that love is selfless, always putting her loved ones before herself. Gma worked her entire life to provide for her family. As a child, she had dreams of exploring the world after she retired, but unfortunately, she didn't get the chance to do just that. Shortly after she retired she was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and was put on an oxygen machine, which has limited her ability to do day to day activities.
I’d like you to think about the life you want to live in. What makes you happy? If you weren't enrolled in school, working, or trying to fit societies norm, what would you be doing? This website is not to only inspire you to see the world, but to hopefully inspire you to put you first. Your life or health might not be there forever, and putting your dreams to the side might come back to bite you in the ass. Take advantage of right now and do what you love!
Back to you Gma! Thank you for inspiring me to put me first. I am traveling the world not only for myself but for you.
Love,
Mikey

I guess I should get into the budgeting part… it’s probably the main reason why you clicked. So after traveling in the Philippines for 28 days, in Singapore for 5 days, and Malaysia 60 days in Malaysia, I’ve come to the conclusion that Southeast Asia is fu*king CHEAP compared to the USA.
