Notable Quotes:

• There are always opportunities coming your way when you're traveling. And that may be from just a new experience to somebody you may meet that ordinarily you would not, um, different walks of life, but you can get cocooned into a sort of a lifestyle that sort of, while you might be happy, it restricts opportunities. So if you're looking for something else, it's important that you get out there and find it. And for me, that always recharges my batteries when I travel.
• Always seek out every opportunity that comes your way. Look after yourself, um, you know, don't do anything too foolish. Keep your wits about you. But over and above, enjoy your experiences while traveling and working overseas.
• You can read what you want in the news, but yeah. When you go there for yourself, you can fully understand how people live and work in places you visit.
• The people you meet along the way, you know, there are some amazing things you will see and do that you wouldn't if you stayed.
• If you're a youngster, like you said, a young person's more likely to get on a motorbike and perhaps have an accident and stuff like that. You have to live your life. You have to take things to the full and enjoy every aspect of it. Um, but you know, just around the corner, things can happen. So make sure that you're covered.
