According to reports from The Guardian, a New Zealand man has decided the 9 to 5 life is not for him and gone full time into the act of Pokemon hunting.

Speaking to the paper, 24-year-old Tom Currie explains that he’s quit his job in Auckland to travel New Zealand for two months playing mobile phenomenon Pokemon Go, the game for iOS and Android that sees players travelling to real-world locations to capture digital beasts.

Currie’s bid is to capture every beast in Nintendo’s wildly popular game. Thus far, he has already captured 90 of the 250 digital beasts.

Currie argues that the game gives him a break considering he has been working for 6 years.
