After graduating. he sold his motor cycle and decided to travel overseas as a backpacker. First he hitchhiked to Perth, WA then he caught a boat to Singapore. He then explored Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia for several months. Eventually he returned to Australia flying into Darwin from there he hitchhiked to Alice Springs and caught a train from there to Port Augusta and then hitchhiked home to Melbourne.
He then decided to study to become a high school teacher. After completing these studies he started work as teacher and taught for one year saving up all his salary for another travel adventure. The following year he set off again flying to Malaysia and after spending sometime in Thailand, caught a boat to India. Then returning via Sri Lanka to Australia after a whole year of adventures.
After all these adventures it is not surprising that he finally started thinking it was time to settle down.
