Old articles, review of 2008 and 2010 and vlogging around the world
First, I've managed to use my film degree somewhat. I've created traveller friendly videos at: http://www.youtube.com/user/savingmoneyIN
and http://www.youtube.com/user/jswinbrum
So..........................
I have just glanced at some old articles I wrote and saw that I did a summing up of 2008. So, as 2010 has just gone I guess I should do something similar.
Jan-March- working in London, had a good time in London but taught at a school that did teaching swaps- where you teach other peoples' lesson plans. After 2/3 months of this I couldn't take it. I wanted to leave, but in the end they fired me. A week later they asked me to come back. I had already booked my flight away.
April- July- Travel coast to coast in America. Amazing experience. Would like to go back to the states. Just absolutely love it, far more than I had expected to.
Sept-Oct- Unemployed at home. Pretty crappy period of my life
Nov+ Dec- temping in B'ham and sorting visas out to come to Thailand.
2011- Moved to thailand.
Financially I have put more money into my stocks. Now money in stocks is near the same as my debts. I'm hoping the shares grow in value more than my debt. We shall see. From being 60% down in 2008, my shares are up 9%. Not a great return but that doesn't include dividends or anything. So it is likely to be over the magical 10% goal.
Fitness has been up and down. Haven't managed to do too much bboying. Though did meet some dope bboys in America. Like I said, it was a fantastic trip.
In late 2010 I split with my long term gf. Really felt the affects in 2011. Saw a few girls in the states, that helped.
I've now been single over a year. Bit weird really. Tho, life moves on, whether we like it or not.
Ok, that's the update.
Something else I've gotten into is vlogging- video blogs.
