Hey Guys,
I travel to from galway to athlone alot. I was looking for a way to maximise the use of the jouney.

Does anyone know how to find some one that would make use of this journey? Maybe stuff get delivered from galway to athlone or athlone to galway. They could use my journey.

Tried to find people to carpool with but no luck. I think i would like the delivery job.

I really hate inefficiency so thought about this for a while. Any ideas welcome

Maybe talk to one or all of the courier companys, or how about starting your own galway to athlone courier business .

thanks biko.

Would not mind exploring the courier option also if anyone had any ideas. Will ask a few couriers about the idea.

There must be some thing out there

Mightnt be to everybodies tastes but in my opinion , if you want to make the most profitable use of that time , listen to audio books. You could become an expert in a wide variety of subjects relatively quickly if you were to put your mind to it.

i always listen to audio book, learn a bit of spaish and catch up on some podcasts. Personnelly i get the most out of the journey.

It is not for profit really but to get more out of the journey. More of a use out of it.
