As we prepare for our next journey, we are starting to reasearch our options and plan our next steps. How are we going to manage travel, insurance, some type of income, and getting used to getting OUT of a routine?

2020 was learning how to maximize points and travel deals.  

2021 was learning about reselling and finding unique items.  

2022 was learning how to do it better

2023 we will start taking mini trips again to enjoy some races (5ks), new cities, thrifting, and small journeys to practice. What will we learn? 

Taking a break or sabbatical is an amazing way to freedom and travel. It's a chance to wander and explore new places, without the pressure of work or home. And it's also a chance to retire - if you do it right, a sabbatical can be the perfect way to transition into retirement. Here are a few tips to make sure your sabbatical goes smoothly:

1. Make sure you have a clear plan. Sabbaticals can be stressful if you don't have a clear idea of what you're doing. Make sure you have a list of goals and objectives, and make sure you're sticking to it.

2. Travel as much as possible. Not only will this help to broaden your perspective, but it will also make the sabbatical more rewarding.

3. Take advantage of technology. There are a number of great tools available to help you stay connected while on your sabbatical, from travel apps to social media platforms.

4. Enjoy your time - don't rush it. Sabbaticals should be relaxing and enjoyable, not rushed or full of stress.

5. Take care of yourself - don't overdo it. Sabbaticals are a time for self-care, not self-destruction. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and taking regular breaks.

6. Don't forget your sense of humor - Sabbaticals are meant to be fun, after all! So enjoy your time away, and be sure to bring along some laughter and lightness of spirit. After all, that's what brings us the most happiness in life!

Follow us as we learn, travel, race, thrift and meet new opportunies and people.
