Tal Gur is a nomad and avid goal seeker. 

Around a decade ago, he made a decision to pursue every big dream to live life on his own terms.

He wrote a bucket list of 100 life goals - from Ironman triathlon, to non-stop travel, to become financially free - and gave himself exactly 10 years to achieve them all.

Little did I know that that night would change the course of my his life. 

Through relentless focus, Tal traded his daily grind for a life of his own daring design, as a location-independent entrepreneur and coach. He tackled financial, physical, and spiritual dreams one by one: mastering English in pulsing Melbourne, completing Ironman New Zealand, creating financial independence, surfing at the world’s most sought-after beaches, and rebuilding a Peruvian family’s flood-ravaged home, among other adventures.

Tal shares not only his journey but how the book was a celebration of this journey.
