MALAY MAIL reader HAMMER is one of those who wrote in to the comments section for this story published in late April: "This is a must read story for everyone especially kids graduating from college. It is stories like Peter's that keeps me motivated."

Malay Mail definitely agrees, and we have picked this as the SUNDAY READING HIGHLIGHTED CHOICE. Kindly Go to  http://www.mmail.com.my/content/freedom-live and read about Peter van der Lans' On-the-Road lifestyle... and philosophy (if you haven't already).

IT was wanderlust that prompted him to free himself from the rat race, but it was his Internet endeavours that provided the means to make it a permanent reality.

Peter van der Lans gave up a steady income in Holland in 1998 to travel the world.
