Enjoy one week of vacation a year.

This, this is what we are supposed to do, what society, our parents, and the random person on the internet thinks we should do with our lives.

This is what I did…

Yet, there I sat morning after morning at my breakfast table in my newly purchased studio apartment, tears streaming down my cheeks I’d checked all of the boxes, except for the whole man and baby thing.

However I’d fallen out of love with my career months prior.

And just weeks before purchasing that apartment I returned from a transformative first solo trip to Ireland.

I couldn’t help myself from thinking what if there’s more?

After many shed tears and a follow up solo trip to Costa Rica where I met people who’d left it all behind for a new way of life, I thought why not me?

So, I got to work.

I got to work on my mindset, on my finances, on my travel plans.

And two years after I took my first solo trip I had quit my job, sold almost everything I owned, rented out my apartment and moved me and my cats from Detroit back home to the Bay Area.

In 2018 I embarked on my year of travel which took me to South America, Mexico, Cuba, and Europe. Finally returning to Ireland to finish my adventure.

I started to get many questions about how I went about this whole process. So I decided to write it all down, compile my checklists, and make it pretty for you!
