I ended up as a sailor after having listened to older cousins praising the trade, but it turned out to be more adventurous in their stories than in real life.

The amazing part actually stopped around 1997, when the hard life on the road started to catch up on me; and it began to evolve around symptoms, diagnoses, doctors, treatments and medication. But I have many good days in between, where I can concentrate on my projects and be a little creative.
