Description
"Have you ever dreamed of quitting the rat race and taking a year off-and then swiftly jolted back to reality? If so, A Year Off will give you the inspiration and the courage to make it happen in real life." -The Independent
Wait for me... Who knew these three words said to a near stranger would start an international travel adventure?
A Year Off is one part travel guide, one part travel essays and photos, and one part memoir documenting the story of Alexandra and David Brown, a couple who decided to take a year off from their jobs and 'regular lives' to travel the world together after only knowing each other for a few months. With many gorgeous photographs and actionable travel advice, A Year Off captures all the beauty and magic of the wanderlust spirit, guiding readers on how to take the same leap and showing them just how doable a journey this type of round-the-world travel is. Each chapter provides perspectives from both authors and tackles a different part of the journey, including:
* A look into David and Alexandra's story as they traveled the world together and got to know one another.
* Colorful essays about adventure travel and all the life-changing moments that come along with it.
* A practical travel guide providing tips on how to leave your job, budget, pack, plan your route, pace yourself, adjust to culture shock, and re-enter.
Turn your travel daydreams into reality with the help of the inspiring journey towards fulfillment, adventure, and learning to be present in the moment.
* This inspirational book is a great gift for all the dreamers, would-be adventurers, and endearingly practical professionals looking to scratch the travel itch and take a risk on what may be the best time of their lives.

Reviews
"Finally budget globetrotters Alexandra and David Brown sack off the 9-to-5 routine to take A Year Off (Chronicle. GBP19), only this time the strangers have each other. They set off having barely been introduced, and share their story and some practical travel tips for those with similarly itchy feet - which you may well have by the end of this book." -- Wanderlust
"We loved reading the personal story of the Browns and their travel ups and downs, as well as the hands-on, useful advice for taking a step of this kind - from route planning, how to tell your boss you're leaving and how to cope once it's all over and you're back at home" -- Independent.co.uk
