He denies he was running away but life until that point had been pretty meaningless with a round of dead end jobs. In Israel at the time the most popular song was from U2's album the Joshua Tree. "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" might have been the case when Nick finished his stint on Kibbutz but by that time he had at least figured out what questions he needed to ask.
He moved into the lucrative IT contract market and worked for the next 20 years in the IT Industry. A break to raise his son gave him a chance to start writing and he has produced a number of novels in draft form which he has promised to publish in the near future. The blog came along by accident following a bizarre conversation with his fellow traveller who coincidentally happens to be his brother. It was supposed to be a private memoir for those who were in that particular Kibbutz at that time but someone let the cat out of the bag and it has been growing in popularity ever since. If Kibbutz was your thing then hop over to the site and check it out.
