    Quitting Our Jobs for a Year of Travel: Off the Cuff Episode

    In this special episode, we are releasing the very first thing we ever recorded. It was a Friday night, Ben had just finished his last day of work, and we decided to record our thoughts and how we felt as we prepared to leave in a week for a year of travel. This is an off-the-cuff episode, meaning it's been extremely lightly edited and is full of raw emotion. We hope you enjoy this fun one, full of anticipation for the year ahead!
