Our 8 month trip around the world is a big step for us. Leaving a company that we spent over 20 years (combined) at was a decision that was hard to make. We loved what we did but felt it was time to move in a new direction and our world trip was a good segue into the rest of our lives. We know we won’t be done traveling after this, but our choice of destination and style of travel will likely change as we grow older and bring children into the world.
