Welcome to #WanderWithFun weekend throwback post 5️⃣! Every weekend we’re telling another page in the story that led us to a year of full-time travel and huge life changes.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Has a trip ever changed your perspective or inspired a big life change? ✈️ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
A visit to Maui in October 2017 did it for us. At this point, we had been back to work after maternity leave and into our “new normal” with Liesel in daycare for just over 6 months.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
It was so incredibly fun for us to return to Hawaii 🏖 with Liesel 6 months after our first visit. She was still a great travel baby, but obviously more active and had grown a ton! Seeing how much she had changed in such a short amount of time between trips was eye-opening for us. Everyone says it goes by quickly, and we were witnessing it first-hand 👶🏼
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Where had those 6 months gone? We felt like beyond surviving parenthood, we hadn’t accomplished anything. Same jobs, same commutes, same unhappiness. We weren’t thriving. And that left us feeling pretty empty inside.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
We watched the sunset almost every night in Maui. During our last sunset 🌅 of the trip, we brainstormed ways to change our lives. We’d open an outdoor tour company in Maui! We would spend every day outdoors enjoying life!
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Sure, our plan had a few holes in it. But it was a plan, and for the weeks after returning home, we talked about that plan. Every. Single. Day. Until, it morphed into something so crazy (for us) that we almost couldn’t believe it...
