Описание: Stepping out of bounds can be a daunting task, but, as Colin Wright has discovered, also incredibly enriching. Traveller, writer, entrepreneur, Colin moves to a new country every 4 months based on votes from the viewers of his blog, blending in with locals and experiencing life in all corners of the globe. Possessing only what fits into his suitcase, Colin has found such a unique routine, defying the norms surrounding relationships, business, and an “appropriate lifestyle”, incredibly dynamic and fulfilling. Such a fascinating journey, carries a very important message relevant to every individual, “Why can’t we be who we want to be, within a lifestyle we shape, aiming at goals that we define, in all aspects of life?”

Colin Wright lived in 7 countries, gaining valuable inspiration and new knowledge from all corners of the Earth. His minimalistic lifestyle and insightful blog, books, and social media presence, has earned him a large follower base.
