On the edge, resourceful, nomad, multilingual, skillful, tactful and deadly accurate. These are just a few words that come up when you think about Jason Bourne, the ultimate spy who lost his memory and become rogue. Although Bourne is a fictional character, Matt Damon made him into an international hit on-screen. Millions followed his story, and now many men and women long to live like Bourne. Obviously, you can't be the spy who lost his memory, but you can make your life a little more like Bourne's.
Let's face it, most people go through life in a certain zone. This zone mostly deals with getting a "normal" education, going through a professional life, starting a family and then retirement. Sure people travel and do certain things to pass their time with, but do they rarely live on the edge. What I'm introducing is to that you can have both...you can have your everyday zone and you can have your "Bourne Zone".
I'm using this blog to share my experiences on what I've done to live a little like Bourne and what you can can do as well. I'll cover topics ranging from how to be resourceful with funds to learning how to defend oneself. Also, I'm hoping that others could comment on their experience or what they recommend for others, including myself. I'm not an expert, just someone willing to share his journey and someone trying to look for other ideas.
Also note, many people put Jason Bourne and James Bond in the same category. Don't make that mistake! People who dream about being Bond usually need the lavishness of life, go to exotic and expensive locales, wear dapper clothing, use their playful gadgets and have a structured mission. The Bourne's of this world are resourceful of what they have, improvise in difficult situations, explore different parts of the world (no matter what condition) and create the mission as they go along with life. This blog is about the now and what you can do to tweak it to become more like Bourne.
