Have you ever felt there must be more to life than a 9-5, or for some of us a 9-9, to pay the bills and keep up with the Jonses? In this episode we hear from two courageous women who ditched the desk to live a more purposeful life and hit the road with their husbands for full time travel. Ellen McGregor Kortan hit refresh in her 40s and found a way to travel full time on just $24,000 a year, for two people! Tara Marlow moved back to Australia, and with her daughter in college, finally started a life of travel, something she had long planned to do. Both women had wake-up calls which reinforced the truth that tomorrow is not guaranteed.
