5 days to freedom!

Have you ever wanted to quit your job, sell all of your stuff and travel the world? Well that is exactly what my fiance and I are doing. In 5 short days we will finally be leaving this old life behind to embark on a new journey in life. For the first time in our lives we will truly be free. No jobs, no bills, no homes, nothing but a pocket full of cash and big dreams for the future!

We are leaving our first home behind early Wednesday morning as we start our travels. It seems almost surreal that less than a week my entire life will change. No more talking about how the future is going to be, it will be time to put all those plans to action. All of the goals we have been working towards are being reached and starting to pay off. Our new life is beginning and for the first time in my life I feel truly free!

I'm sad to be leaving this house because I have put tons of work into it, I personally remodeled the whole thing myself from top to bottom so everything is basically brand new. But I guess ultimately that's why I we can afford to do this, because I put all of that effort into fixing this house up by myself, now I get to reap the rewards. I never imagined all of those late nights of work on the house after working 8-10 hr days would one day be the fuel that helps us reach our dreams. Crazy how life works out, you can never guess the future but when you turn around and look at the path from your past, it seems like it was so obvious!?! I guess that's why they say hindsight is 20/20.

Anyways, the house will be put up for sale the day we leave by a realtor, hopefully it will sell fast so we can buy the RV we want and start our travels sooner rather than later. As for now we are going to Arizona to stay with my parents in their winter home. Even though we are not traveling just yet, we couldn't handle another cold winter in Wisconsin so we figured we would go south (where it is warmer) while we waited for the house to sell. We will still start some adventures as soon as we get to Arizona, we have found all kinds of places we want to explore so get ready for some awesome pictures and cool stories! But we probably won't be in the RV for a few more months to be realistic :/ but that should go by fast and that will give us time to properly plan the route we want to take around the country.

We will be visiting a lot of national parks to start. We will go to a lot of hidden places that most people aren't willing to go. We will hike the distances to see the unseen, to get to the mystic waterfalls and secret caves. We really want to see the side of america that people don't take the time to see. We have been making a list of amazing places we have to visit and it is getting way to long to list, so if you are interested you will just have to wait and see ;)

I still can't believe in only 5 days my new life begins! This is the most exciting thing I have ever done in my life.
