My latest bop, on @businessinsider.com, is about my husband and I blowing up our lives and traveling around Europe for a year. www.businessinsider.com/sold-home-to...
My husband and I built careers in tech and law. In our 40s, we sold our house, traveled for a year, and left both industries.
When my husband was laid off from his tech job, we sold our house and decided to travel for a year in our 40s. It changed how we view happiness.
