Troy Floyd

I missed the 60's, American, hate cooked green vegetables but love the taste of a cheese and mustard sandwich, been to 20+ countries, once had a 6-figure salary but quit it to be happy.

Goals in life:

* Sail the Amazon River in my own man made boat from Ecuador to Peru

* Hike Norway on the pilgrimage trail from Oslo to the North for 1 month

* Travel the world by car or motorcycle for 2 years

* Expand my photography skills

* ...and buy a winning lottery ticket!

Think that sums me up pretty much! In all honestly, I'm currently living in Quito, Ecuador. After working long 12hr days, 7 days a week, chasing the wealth dream I finally decided it was time in my life to do something I'm passionate about, PHOTOGRAPHY and TRAVEL!

I will be adding daily posts and pictures to this site, as this site is merely to display my work and keep people informed of where I'm at and doing. Sign up for my email feeds to get my posts delivered to your inbox. It's the best way to keep informed!

So if you can't travel, then I invite you to through my website. For all the ones that are...please look me up.

Forget Obligation Go Global...its my odyssey!

What is your first name: Walter
What city are you from: Zaruma
What country are you from: Ecuador
What do you do: Ecuadorian Mail Man for the last year 1/2
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why: I would go to New York, USA because I have family there and would like to see them.
What’s your dream and why: To become a lawyer, move to New York and set up my own practice doing criminal law.

FOGG Notes: All I got to say is postal guy by day, law student by night…hell that’s the American dream and just goes to show you that if you’re willing to work for something anything can happen. Rarely is anyone ever handed a silver spoon in life and I totally believe it’s up to oneself to make their own dream/fortune in life. I hear all the time from a lot of people when traveling that they don’t have any opportunities to make anything in life and I think Walter is a perfect example of someone who is making opportunities and not waiting/expecting one to come to them. Bravo and wish him the best of luck…he can represent me on my next speeding ticket in the US anytime!
