I always dream of quitting my job, buying a camper and spending my life driving around Canada. A life of reading, checking out festivals and events, and hiking is my ideal. Throw a horse in there somewhere (not practical) and it’s my nirvana.
I stumbled upon this great blog I Love Born To Be Wild today and the latest entry was the writer talking about how she and her boyfriend quit their jobs and started travelling. I really enjoyed it and thought you might too.
Earlier this summer my honey + i decided to sell everything, leave our Maui home and hit the open road for some much needed road-trippin, van-campin + festival-hopin. With our hearts on our sleeves, our home on our back and a handfull of crystals, sea-shells + good books, we have found ourselves experiencing a different kind of freedom.
This freedom is not about working the same 9-5 job for 5 years so that you can get your 2 weeks paid vacation and it’s not about buying a nice car so you can enjoy your drive to work every day…
.
Instead, this freedom is about detaching from the material world, letting go of possessions and realizing the impermanence of all things. This freedom is about finding your inner superpower – it’s about being spontaneous, trusting your intuition and following your heart.
However, in the process of letting go of everything else, we have become pretty attached to our hippie-flippin, road-trippin, festival-hopin, time-travelin motor-coach… this one might take us some time ♥
This is really great. love it.
