"January, 1998 to December, 2003"
Destination Unknown... You never know where you are going til you get there.
The story of the Wandering Hobo is about my new found freedom and desires to travel N. America. I would look at an atlas and wonder what life was like in different parts of Canada and the USA. I took on the theme of a Wandering Hobo, just an ordinary guy travelling through life, sharing the adventure with my friends through words and pictures of the journey. Life is full of twists and turns and surprises! The Texas Road Trip proved to be a turning point in my life, a milestone. My following trips gave me time for soul searching and to find myself again. I was never really lost but perhaps really, it was more of a time out to set new goals in life and to enjoy visiting new places as each day unfolded.
January, 1998... Looking Ahead...
A milestone in my life occurred... DIVORCE. After the breakup and divorce, it was time to begin a new life. Time to reorganize and to rebuild. Goals were established such as to travel as much as possible, to continue to invest in the stock market and to give dating a 5yr. try. Then the plan was to look back and to see where life had gone once the five years have passed.
December, 2003... Looking Back...
Looking back now after 5 years, I did travel throughout N. America. The stock market plus an inheritance restored my finances and then some. (In just 5 1/2 yrs. I was 6 times wealthier than what the divorce settlement left me...amazing!) I dated many women over that 5 year span. Some were nice and some I ran from. Haha... Some personality types just don't match at all. I learned a lot. Life moves forward and doesn't always give you a second chance. On September 13, 2003 another milestone was crossed when I met a "right" lady for me. On December 13, 2003, I gave her an engagement ring. I have begun work on a new website... Milestones
August, 2005...The Present...
Well, we got married on Oct 24, 2004 as our life was on a fast track having completed the cross country trip in 2004. We also bought a business and a vacation rental home in April of 2005. I have travelled the west coast on down to California back in 1992 and was planning to do another trip in 2006 back down that way. Well, with the high price of gas now, buying a hair salon, "Creative Profiles, Sidestreet Salon plans have changed. I have invested in a rental property in Saskatchewan that has been turned into a Bed and Brunch. I also bought a lake lot plus 1/2 ownership in a second one. These properties will be keeping us busy for the next two years as well. The realtors are saying that Saskatchewan will be where the next boom is and it did hit. Property was very cheap right now making it a great province to retire to. Saskatchewan does have oil, gas, diamonds and wheat. The fundamentals are there to outpace Alberta in the future. I formed a new company Aug 1, 2007. United Team Capital Ventures Ltd. You can see the start of the joint lake lot cabin as construction begins. The heated slab went in just two days after i passed by that way. The company will be investing in stocks, real estate and the launch of a financial DVD. Never a dull moment!
May 9, 2008... Looking To The Future...
Decisions, decisions! Currently I have been wanting to invest in U.S. vacation destination real estate with others using a U.S. corporation with a target date now of 2009. Click Here if you are interested I also took the Quickstart Home Study CD Program through REIN. Plans are to build a cabin at the lake this summer.
