I get home from the 7-5 construction job and get my head into my laptop to work on my travel blog, freelance writing, building niche websites and making videos.

Great blog! Just found it by complete chance!
I also like your goal/dream and, if I may suggest, I think its a pretty achievable learning process within 6-12 months. To learn those languages within that short period of time, in your busy traveling schedule would be best by listening to structured conversations with headphones. My wife just learned to speak conversational Arabic on the plane, while traveling from London to Dubai. Its “Michel Thomas method” Did you hear of him before? You learn the language structure by listening to his tapes, or recorded mp3 files. Its about understanding the language and taking part with 2 other recorded learners. Please try to google him – its amazing!!!!

My goal is to finish my documentary (which I started 3/4 years ago) and make it available to masses in the world, to teach the younger generation about our sound, which is still analogue, not digital. I’d like to make some awareness about the music format, starting with phonographs. Tangibility factor, music ownership, establishment is all part of the process. I interviewed hundreds of famous and less famous artists, celebrities, engineers, record labels, youth, kids, DJs, production houses, academics, eccentric individuals and many more.. but because the subject matter is soooooo big, I can’t ever wrap it up and finish. Perhaps one of these days I’ll find a way to do it (maybe as many little episodes of it)..

My huge, crazy goal is wanting to become an inspirational filmmaker, and one day eventually own an independent production company. The stepping stones in achieving my goal is actually starting off!

When I dropped out of university a few years ago (against my parents wishes), I secured a job as a production assistant in a local production company. After my short stint there I took the almighty leap in backpacking to Europe and Asia (again, against my parents wishes). During my travels I documented every little detail I encountered, as small as going to the local market in Germany, to as ambitious as delivering a speech at a start-up conference in Hong Kong!

After my travels I sent my documentary of my epic journey, and secured a job as an Assistant Director, and on my way to fulfilling my dream!

Happy travels!
