Yep, he quit his job to travel around, playing Pokémon Go full-time
Guess, Tom really needed to catch 'em all
"I wanted to have an adventure," Currie told The Guardian. "I have been working for six years and I was desperate for a break. And Pokémon gave me the chance to live that dream."
What's more, even his mum approves
"Tom is a very spur-of-the-moment, independent kid, he always has been," The Guardian quoted his mother, Tania Dobbs, as saying.
"His nana and I don't understand the game but I remember him loving it in his childhood. I am just glad he is out enjoying his life and seeing so much of New Zealand. I back him 100%."
