Just before deciding on a truly life changing round the world trip, I sat in work thinking: I am bored of my job. I was not alone in this, thousands of people at that very moment were also thinking I am bored of my job, but the difference between them and I was that I decided to act.

Being bored of my job was nothing new, Working in a highly pressurized sales job in a boring office, in an equally boring business park would make anyone bored of their job. Although I had my suspicions, I was not really prepared for just how good a move handing my notice in would be.

Backpacking, Adventure travel, taking a Gap Year or Career break \” call it what you will was the perfect solution to being bored of my job: my horizons were expanded far beyond the 4 walls of my office.   The Monday morning commute drifted in to hazy memory as I started a pilot training program in South Africa. I´ll bet you are not bored of your job I remember saying to the flight instructor as the massive expanse of the plains of Africa curved of into the horizon under the light aircraft that I was flying. A few months later, I would have a new job as a Divemaster in Thailand. Now if you are bored of your job there is no better option open to you that doing your divemaster course. Constant exposure to new experiences, proper responsibility for peoples safety and of course the amazing diving will keep you happy for as long as you can resist the urge return back home back to the office and to being bored of you job once more.
