After experiencing a layoff and loss, the couple decided to travel for a year, reflecting on their busy lives and seeking peace. Their journey revealed the importance of slowing down, inspired by their love for animals and nature. They ultimately chose a smaller home upon their return, leaving behind high-stress jobs for a more meaningful life. The travel experience cultivated a new outlook on life and happiness, shifting their priorities to savor simpler moments.
By the time we reached our 40s, my husband, Dave, and I had built a life we thought we'd always dreamed of.
Our travel goals were simple - see a lot of places, think about what to do with our lives when we returned to the US.
Spending time around animals forces us to slow down. It's a lesson we'd learned after adopting our dogs, who always seemed happy just to be.
One morning, I woke up to find a note from Dave that said he was joining the husband-and-wife farmers to scan the bellies of the pregnant sheep on-site.
