Wow.

Came back, uh, at the age of 29, had no job, no money, no possessions, and I wanted to do something that I'd never done before in a part of the country I'd never been to.
5:15
So I just did a blanket search of the entire country on the internet, looking at everything from aviation in Darwin to marine in Perth, and then a job popped up and it said, "Be a tour guide in Alice Springs." Two weeks later I was in Alice Springs.
5:28
Uh, went on a couple of training trips and realized that this situation, uh [laughs], which I didn't even know existed, basically brought everything, everything that I loved in the world together, from cooking, to music, to driving, to education, to social, you know, interactions with European backpackers, to the camping, to the culture.
5:51
It just literally put everything that I loved about life and put it on wheels.
5:58
So I started doing that knowing very much-That it was, you know, a big part of everything that I loved.
6:04
And over the years, as I got older, I kept thinking I needed to get a real job.
