Have you ever dreamed of putting everything in storage, packing a simple bag, and embarking on year-long adventure? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel and live life on your own terms for an extended period of time? Life (and travel) is all about the experiences we have and the memories we make. Often times we find ourselves holding back on our dream experiences because of our own fears. However, with a little preparation and a whole lot of passion, you can truly make anything happen for yourself. On today’s episode, we are going to chat with my friend Kayleigh, who has been traveling the world for the past year. Not only will you hear about her incredible journey but, she will share with you how she was able to make this dream, a reality and create an experience of a lifetime.

She went back to Europe to backpack with a friend after graduating and knew she wanted to spend a year abroad. A few years later and she is! Kayleigh and her husband Kyle have been to 12 countries since July, and have 2 more on their list before they return home. Kayleigh is passionate about travel, teaching, and sustainability and has figured out how to incorporate those passions into a year of a lifetime.
