Quitting your job and travelling abroad

                    Over the course of this past year, Sarah and I have met many travelers just like us—those who quit their jobs and sold their things to travel the world. Apparently, a lot of people are doing it, so now we don’t think it’s weird, or scary, or crazy. We’re just part of a growing population of people who are taking an extended period out of their “normal” lives to see the world. I made the decision to quit my job with a Fortune 500 real estate brokerage company, get rid of my belongings, and move to Montreal to learn blogging and spend more time in nature. My life has been an adventure these past 1.5 years. I’ve met new friends, experienced new cultures, and have seen some spectacular things, but I’ve also discovered this lifestyle is not for me in the long run. It’s hard. It’s tiring. And it’s not often glamorous.
                 Leaving your usual daily routine is a personal decision, but it also affects your job, friends and family. I feel blessed to have a family that supports my decision and friends who still care about me even though I’m not there to celebrate certain milestones.Traveling long term is much cheaper than you think. Travelling costs a lot of money. If you don’t a have debt, it doesn’t take much money to make a change. IT’S BETTER NOT TO HAVE ONE.
                  We even attended a Yoga Travel Workshop as Sarah was insisting. Was a cool experience. Advice everyone to attend a Yoga session at least once in their lifetime whenever they travel. The relief that you get cant be put into words.
