My name is Jan. I am as I write, 37 years old. I come from Norway, and I have spent most of my life there. I used to be a hard working computer network administrator, but one day I had enough of it and i made the best decision I've made so far in my life;  I chose to live life instead of grinding through it. I quit my job, and spent almost a year planning how to redesign my life. Still not 100% sure what to do, i figure out I could just as well go traveling to get some new ideas and impulses. And there my real "new life" began; In 2004 I travelled around the world for the first time. And I loved every second of it.

Since then, i have re-educated myself. I have figured out the best way I can live life, work with something I love and get to travel at the same time : I became a Scuba Diving Instructor. I have since then worked in Thailand mostly, except the odd course back in Norway when i have been home on summer holiday. I have also made another journey around in South East Asia, including Mayalsia, Borneo, Brunei, Philippines and Indonesia.

Now I am following another dream of mine. My location is now French Polynesia.

Here I am working as head of sports, and scuba diving instructor on a beautiful clipper tall ship; The SPV Star Flyer. It's a dream coming through working on a sail ship, and another dream coming true getting to see Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Taha'a, Huahine, Raiatea, Rangiroa, Fakarava and the surrounding tropical paradise. My contract is from 11'th of June until February 14'th - then I will come home to Norway to see my beloved family and friends again.
