Jack Ring: Ballincollig man went from not quite knowing his way in life at home, to finding his way in the world.

Maybe you have thought about packing a rucksack and leaving your current life behind, starting a new one where waking up on a warm, deserted beach to watch the sunrise is a regular occurrence. No alarm going off at 6am; no daily grind; no packed commute to a job that underwhelms you. Would you pack it up to live that nomadic dream?
