Ian Usher worked at a carpet store and had a very calm life until his wife decided to leave him after 12 years of marriage.
He was completely depressed by the divorce that he decided to post an unusual lot on an online auction for only $1. Just one week later, this move turned his life around.
User was born in England but he decided to move to Australia with his wife where they purchased a warm house. Everything went smooth until she found another man and left him alone in the house where every item reminded him of her.
After two years of severe depression and loneliness, Usher started his own blog and said explained he put all his property on eBay for only $1. The lot consisted of the house, motorbike, car, jet ski, and all items!
He attracted a lot of media attention and journalists from other countries also discovered his amazing plans that included 100 goals to forget his harsh divorce. He said he would go to the airport and buy a ticket and see where his new life would lead him.
At the end of the auction, his wife was worth $399,300, which is cheaper than the market price. But the person who gave the highest bid could not pay for it so Usher contacted other participants but they also changed their mind.
He managed to sell his house with the help of a real estate agent and move all his things to his friends. He decided to achieve all his 100 goals in 100 weeks, taking only his wallet and passport with him.
Usher met a lot of amazing people, including his idol Richard Branson, who founded Virgin Group. He told the billionaire about his trip and his own charity project, and the businessman agreed to participate in it.
He sold photos taken in different parts of the world and transferred all his earnings to the Bowel Cancer and Digestive Research Institute.
He visited all continents and over 30 counties and found incredible people in every new place he went to.
Usher went scuba diving, jumped with a parachute, jumped off a bridge, flew a paraglider, a helicopter, a fighter jet, and a plane.
But his craziest goal was wing walking, where he stood on a flying plane’s wing!
He also climbed an active volcano, spent a night in a haunted house, went kayaking, and saw Mount Everest.
He also had swum with sharks several times!
Aside from traveling, some of his goals include learning to play a musical instrument, speak Spanish and French, and master a unicycle.
Of course, he found a new love, Vanessa, and they decided to go on a trip around the world. They are so used to not having a house and spent every other month in a new place.
They also turned this hobby into a source of income.
