Featured Blog #2 — Married With Luggage

October 30, 2011 in Simple Living Blogs

I was so excited to find these guys and their blog

This is a pic of the couple (taken from their website with permission)

In their own words:

We are a recovering, 40-year-old, Type-A couple who learned that living large is not necessarily living well. We did all the typical things people do in their 20s and 30s: climb the corporate ladder, get married, buy a house, get divorced, climb the ladder some more, get married again, accumulate more crap, and keep repeating the process like hamsters on a wheel.

We were in love with each other but not with our lives.

After a serious wakeup call, we decided to focus on what matters and get rid of everything else.

What we kept:

  • Each other
  • A sense of adventure
  • 2 backpacks

What we trashed:

  • Everything that would not fit into our backpacks
  • Living by someone else’s rules
  • Debt and obligation

What do you get when you do the math from that equation? An open-ended trip around the world.

How cool is that!  Check out their blog and follow it with me (if you aren’t already… because they are so cool). 

They are living their dream. Your dream might not be travel, but as long as your dream includes something beyond the treadmill of the familiar and easy, these guys have hints, tips and even a BOOK to help you.   I really like these guys because my dream is travel too. 

I read their book in the past few days and really enjoyed it!  It is practical and fun.
