""I worked straight out of college, and then it was one job to the other job," Slough, 53, told Business Insider. "It was always fast-paced, high stress.""
""I joke sometimes that my maternal instincts kicked in late," Gilchrist told Business Insider. "But it felt like the right moment to dedicate more time to my family than to work and climbing the corporate ladder.""
""We also decided that we're going to rent our house out while we're traveling, so we could get some income," Slough said."
""We were a bit surprised that our parents would actually do it because they have always been very focused on their careers," their second son, Mateo, told Business Insider."
Pablo Slough (53) and Karen Gilchrist left long corporate careers in mid-2024 after more than two decades in demanding, high-stress roles. They planned a family gap year to travel with their three sons—Luka, 18; Mateo, 15; and Joaquin, 12—and to reassess future career steps. The couple hired a financial advisor a year in advance and decided to rent their house while traveling to generate income. They involved their children in planning; the sons were initially surprised but are part of the decision-making. The break aims to prioritize family time and personal reset.
