THE PARABLE:
"Once upon a time, there was a Jamaican civil engineer living in New York City who hated his job. He followed his passion, started a sideline business, quit his job, escaped the rat race, ran off to a tropical island in the Pacific, and started a tourism business so he could give tours of the island to pretty girls every day! He now lives a nomadpreneur's dream life, while helping others do the same!" Read more and download Jamaican on Saipan at: https://jamaicanonsaipan.com.

THE PHILOSOPHY:
"Simply because you were born within the borders of one society does not mean you are suited or wired for, honored or best served by, nor destined or obligated to seek your happiness within that society. There is bliss beyond borders." — Walt Goodridge
"It takes far less effort to find and move to the society that has what you want than it does to try to reconstruct an existing society to match your standards." — Harry Browne, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World
