because, well, why not?

Notes

12 October 2022

Kat loved her job as a clinical pharmacist in emergency medicine.

Sam loved restoring habitat along a rail trail as part of his job.

And yet, one day, they both quit, to take a year-long mini-retirement in Latin America.

Because, well, why not?

They’d learnt that If you save, you can take a year of travel every decade of your life.

This idea of little pauses throughout your career sounded amazing to them!

Now, on their travels, they’re scoping out places all over the Spanish-speaking world to see where they might want to move, on the next stage of their work-life journey!
