I'll try to keep this as short as possible. Basically, I feel that I squandered by 20s working and being successful and lost a huge opportunity to travel. Fast forward to today. I'm married, own a home, have a dog, a car payment, all the stuff that a 'successful' person has and my husband and I are actively trying to start a family.
But I still long for travel and seriously regret not traveling when I wasn't tied down. I do get out- on weekend trips and longer vacations- but I want to spend a month or so hiking the Pacific Coast Trail. I want to spend a summer in Montana and Wyoming. I want more than what can be done in a two week vacation.
I live in Phoenix and would love to figure out a life style where we can work for 9 or 10 months out of the year and then take the summer off and really travel. We both currently work in corporate jobs where I don't really see that happening, but we need that income to pay for our life, and also support any travel.
So for people who do something like this- how do you make it work?
Thanks
