Ahoy, friends! We are hurtling towards the end of 2024 and it’s time to pause, open your journal, reflect… and dream BIG! Today, I want to share something a little different with you - a formula which I hope will help you plan out the best fucking year of your life so far. The end of the year offers a truly special time to disconnect from phones, social media, from the pressures of work and day-to-day life and to RECONNECT with your intuition and your vision for the future. This is a time to reflect on the year just gone, to see what lessons you have learned, and to ponder what went well and what could have gone better. And above all, to prepare yourself to forge your own destiny; to make the next year better than the one just gone. We can be our own biggest champion or our own worst critic. Sometimes, we are both. But we are masters of our fate, captains of our own ship… nobody is going to do it for us, the buck stops with US. So I want to share a system I came up with that is probably the most valuable practice, outside of fitness, in my life. For the last ten years, I’ve been tracking my daily habits and at the end of the month recording these digitally and then asking myself the same 8 questions…
Having ten FREAKING years of data on these questions is powerful… it provides an irrefutable stack of proof (to myself) that I am consistently working my introspective muscles and moving in the direction of being the person I want to be. My personal hero is myself in 10 years time (I stole that from Matthew McConaughey but it’s true for me too)… I see clearly who I can be and having these end-of-month reviews has been a powerful tool; I’m better at celebrating wins, and it’s harder to hide from fuck-ups or weaknesses for more than a month. An end-of-the-month review is a powerful thing, but what’s even more powerful is an end-of-year review… There’s really no WRONG way to do this, just focus on pulling out your journal and…
The end of the year is a powerful time and in many ways how we end the year very much sets the vibe for how the next year is going to unfurl - so spend your time wisely! However you choose to spend the Christmas break, I’m sending you all my love :) - Will P.S.

Ok, amigos, today we're talking about Triple D's and why you need them in your life ASAP.

The time has finally come! I am SO excited to tell you about a project I've been developing for the past many, many months... And this project involves Bali, it involves YOU, and it involves ME 🌈 Introducing: Ditch Your Desk Adventures ❤️ I am extremely passionate about the concept of ditching one's desk and building a life of freedom. That's pretty much all I've been working on for the past 15 years, and it's a big part of what I want to pass along through The Broke Backpacker. So I decided...
On January 30th, 2013, I changed my life forever. This was the date when I registered The Broke Backpacker domain and started working on my dream: a travel blog that was pretty different from the rest. One that catered to the broke, the adventurous and the ones willing to be uncomfortable! I spent several years travelling the world on $10 a day, and over time, The Broke Backpacker grew beyond my wildest dreams. Since then, I've travelled a LOT whilst also growing and experimenting as an...
