The world doesn’t tell us what we want WE TELL THE WORLD.

I’m an O.G. Check Season 3. Better yet, watch Saigon: Arrival if you need to catch up.

Now why is old-news like me posting alongside the new voices of Jet Set Zero?

Here’s what’s going on:

BAM! I was a cast member for seasons 1-3 (plus the bonus season 4 ((you have to watch season 3 to the 25’34″ mark and the secret season starts)) )

BAM! I’ve been lurking for exactly one year TODAY. (Or some day, I forgot to look at the date when I left Istanbul, but what does it matter, close enough.)

BAABAM! I’m taking off again for the wide world after a year of modest and in-almost-every-way ordinary living. I think it’s time Jet Set Zero went to…

BBBBBAAAAAAMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SOUTHAFRICAMOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…And Mozambique. And probably MalawiZambiaZimbabweBotswanaNamibia-land. That is, Southern Africa.

My favorite Google Image result for South Africa. Will I too be caught dancing naked in a river with a lioness? No promises, but I'll do my best.

Question! How is this Jet Set Zero??

Answer! It’s a reach-around from Futureyou that decided today was worth the risk and sent a postcard from Zanzibar saying “wish you were here, pussy”.

Question! How is this NOT Jet Set Zero??

Answer! Well, I’m glad you asked.

1! I will not be in the same place for 90 days. Unless you count the southern third of the second-largest continent in the world as “one place”.

2! I will not work in the local economy. Far from it. I will be working remote the whole time for a company in the US. Cheating? Maybe. But I think you might want to know how I did it. And I’ll tell you if you lose the attitude.

3! I’m not going with a bunch of dudes, like the old days. My travel companion is a gorgeous, six-foot-tall Brazilian goddess with an unquenchable lust for life, string bikinis and 8 bottles of hair-care products.

I missed you Jetsetters and I’m glad to be broadcasting again. But this is a complicated story, just like all of them, and I want you to call me out if things don’t make sense.

I look forward to sharing this with you guys. Hope you follow.

    Welcome back, Rob. Nice to have a break from all the tortured introspection. I know we can count on you for a good solid dose of “don’t think about it, just do it”! Just keep your wits about you….

    Wits? I didn’t know I had those. Thanks for believing in me.
