After 11 years with my employer I resigned last week. By far the scariest thing I've ever done! At the moment my emotions are jumping between overwhelming excitement and fear....guess thats normal. I love south east Asia, so plan is back to Cambodia for a while to see my local friend who has started a school for orphans....then...who knows...best wishes with your travels...thanks for sharing and inspiring others...if you in Cambodia way look me up...cheers Simon Hi Jodi,

I love your blog. You are living the dream... or should I say "my" dream ;) Really amazing! A few years ago my bf and I took a 5 month trip to South Asia, fell in love with it and went back to visit Thailand last year. Right now we are saving up for a bigger trip through the rest of Asia.. I understand "the need" that you felt. Good luck and have a great time on your further travels. Xx Wow!! I love your blog. You are living the dream… or should I say “my” dream ;) Really amazing!

I'm glad you enjoyed the posts and thank you for the comment. I actually never counted my countries (perhaps I should?), but I've enjoyed finding myself in new ones and exploring them as best as I can. Hope your year allows for a trip back to the continent you know and love! Hi John! I’m glad you enjoyed the posts and thank you for the comment.

It's really cool! I've been forturnate as well to have travelled much, i.e., 31 countries between business and vacationing; although have not managed a full year off as you have done. I am real fan of SE Asia, including 8 trips to Thailand (I have friends there and have attended a college graduaton ceremony in Bankgok, which is a hoot!), and 2 trips to Myanmar (Golden Rock, and especially Bagan are fascinating; and don't forget Ngapali Beach). I look forward to more of your posts. John Hi Jodi,

As I said to Randy, above, getting out there is the hardest part but I am sure things will follow much more organically thereafter, at least they did for me. Best of luck as you continue to save up, and here's to crossing paths one of these days on the road! Hi Kim, thanks for the comment and for tweeting this post.

I'm happy the post and this site has been an inspiration. If anything, I've found that getting out there and starting on a new trajectory is the scariest part; the rest falls into place a lot more seamlessly than you expect. Best of luck to you!

That post just made me want to cry. I am 11 months away from embarking on my indefinate travel and I feel all of those things. I can't explain quite why I need to do it but I know more than ANYTHING that I do need to do it. Thanks for this beautiful post. Quite lucky indeed. That post just made me want to cry.

("uncontainable joy") I've been practicing law for over 20 years, and have had wanderlust for most of that time. I am finally at a point in my life where I can take to the road if I want to, and now have an unplanned transition that may "force" me to "seize the moment". I will be absorbing your advice posts as I contemplate my next steps. thanks for sharing your adventure!! Jodi
