During the past 5 years that I spent traveling I’ve used almost every mode of transportation imaginable and crossed nearly every different type of terrain I can think of. It was always an adventure, always interesting, always fun, always new. I’ve flown in every type of airplane imaginable. From the biggest airbuses, all different types of Boeings, a private jet, an army helicopter to the smallest of planes, 20, 12, 8, 6, 4 and a 2 seat plane. (occasionally flying some of the smaller ones myself) I’ve sailed on steam boats, catamarans, cruise liners, longtails, yachts, ferries, junk boats, schooners, steam boats, speed boats, houseboats, cigarette boats, island hopping boats and taken a fisherman’s canoe for a few days into the ocean to a tiny island where I stayed by myself. I’ve traveled in almost every different type of train I knew existed, and some I didn’t. From the high speed TGV that leaves the south of France, steam locomotives, a 4 person plank dragged down the railroad tracks by a motorcycle, 1st class trains across India as well as steerage class 30 hour train rides so packed that I wound up hanging out the train with one hand gripping the door and one foot dangling above the ground that we were rolling over as there was no room on the inside of the car. I’ve ridden inside buses that were loaded with chickens hopping around, some beautiful buses with reclining seats and champagne before bed, buses with doors and without, with seats and without, and ridden lying down on top of bushels of grain on top of buses, holding onto a rope and attempting to bus surf as we roared through the hairpin curves and mountains of Nepal, and hanging onto the back grate of buses. I’ve ridden in every type of car that I can imagine. From small vans with no doors packed with people, to off-road jeeps, regular cars, the back of pickup trucks and carrier trucks that would pick me up when I was hitchhiking. I’ve walked, jogged, run, rollerbladed, skateboarded, sprinted, climbed and swum in almost every weather imaginable (it’s illegal to go in the water during a hurricane in Florida because of me for example) I’ve ridden bicycles, mountain bikes, racing bikes a unicycle (or attempted to, I didn’t get very far), two seat bikes, mopeds, Vespas, and on the back of motorcycles. I still haven’t been in a hot air balloon, although truth be told I don’t have any huge drive to and I still haven’t paraglided (which I’m sure I’ll get around to eventually). Other than that, there’s no real form of transportation that I’m aware that I haven’t undertaken at some point. - See more at:

His writing was very SWPL. This just screams "me, me, me, me and me!!!"
In half a dozen paragraphs he wasn't able to share a single insight for others, only boast about what he has done.
Nonetheless, RIP
