About

Are you sitting in a cubicle reading this blog?

We’ve been there.

Traveling 9 to 5 is for everyone looking for a break from the 9 – 5 drag. We remember the days of endlessly browsing the Internet, living off of other people’s adventures and drooling over daily travel photos online.

You don’t have to hate your job to take a career break or gap year, you only need to be driven to revive your creativity and jumpstart your energy to be a better employee, husband, wife or friend. We encourage you to stop slamming the door on opportunities and begin writing an interesting story for your life.

What is a Career Break?

Take 1 month or 1 year to focus on you! A career break allows you to revisit your priorities, learn new things and focus on what you want to get out of your life. Reignite your creativity by adding adventure and novelty back into your day-to-day.

You Will Never Regret Taking A Year to Travel

Josh worked for a large consulting firm where he was on the road 80% of the time. He worked 90 hour weeks and let his guitar collect dust in the corner of our apartment, but had great benefits with a paycheck he liked. His passions were pushed aside as he focused on working and climbing the ladder.

I looked at him one day in the car and said “lets quit and travel the world”.

In the end, he couldn’t shake the fact that there is nothing he could ever regret by taking a year to travel. For one year we got the best education we could imagine, lessons in negotiating, logistic planning, decision making, international communications, dealing with constantly changing situations…(I could go on!).
