What does “enough” really mean?
Dave spent around 20 years working in accounting and finance before eventually realising that the life he had built was no longer the life he wanted. At 45, he stepped away from that career, became a bartender, and later began building a life centred around long-term travel.
In this episode, Dave talks about travelling for months at a time, balancing expensive destinations with more affordable ones, and learning how to shape a life around what matters most to him.
He also shares some unforgettable moments from the road — including an accident at Angkor Wat just days into one of his first major trips, unexpected dental care in Thailand, and a chance encounter that landed him at a special International Hobbit Day celebration in New Zealand.
But the heart of the conversation comes down to one question:
What is enough for you?
Dave explains why understanding that answer can change the way you think about money, work, freedom and the kind of life you actually want to live.
A conversation about travel, changing direction, taking chances, and dreaming bigger than you once thought possible.
