Why I Started Building an Income Around Travel

There are some moments in life that completely change the way you think about security.

For me, it was when my husband and I both lost our jobs at the same time.

It was one of the most frightening and difficult periods of our lives. Suddenly, the income we had relied on was gone, but the bills were still there. We found ourselves in a position where we couldn’t afford to keep up with everything and had to move back in with family.

I am incredibly grateful that we had family to turn to, but that didn’t make the experience easy. Losing our jobs, our income and our independence all at once was awful. It felt as though the life we had been building had been taken out of our hands, and we had very little control over what happened next.

That experience stayed with me.
