Yes, I do seem to be a "Jack-Of-All Trades", as a broadcaster,
writer and media consultant. But really, all of these professions
work together pretty seamlessly in my life. I've been a broadcaster
for over 35 years, but only started writing books when I turned
fifty, which came naturally to me once I had achieved more
perspective on my life and felt more confident in writing about it.
My media consultancy is now over ten years old, and runs quite well,
practically on its own. The people I've surrounded myself with are
professionals who work out many of the details in that business
which allows me to set the overall direction of it, while freeing me
up from the more tedious aspects of media placement and talent
development.
As you might surmise, my goal now is to live a life in which I am
not tied down too much and can have the freedom to do what I love
more than breathing---travel! In my e-course (more on that in a
minute) I talk to student travelers about how they, too, can start
living a life of travel while still being responsible in their work
life. Americans especially are driven to work, work, and work. It's
part of our capitalist culture, which has created the hardest
working, most productive population on the planet. I just feel that
this has gone too far. My book was written to free people from the
many constraints they live under so they can discover this marvelous
world we live in. Life is way too short to spend it only working.
Travel broadens your horizons, expands your consciousness and makes
you happy! Paupers don't live to work---they work to travel! My
challenge was to find ways to sometimes travel 'free' and sometimes
even get paid to travel. That challenge has been met and my book
reveals how unlimited travel is a dream that CAN come true for
anyone.
Q. How often do you have a chance to Get
Away?
Victor: I try and "get away" as often as humanly
possible. That means, every chance I can. I live to travel! In the
past, I would travel only when business called, or when I needed to
handle family issues or when I had my vacation time coming to me
from my employer. However, as I got older I decided I could do
better than that!
