Change your life when you hear the calling

When there comes a moment when things don’t seem to make sense anymore, it is a sign we should change life!

It is time to stop, analyse, evaluate, strategize and start again.

This is what happened to us…

First, I started asking myself,

“What have I done with my life?”

“Why do I do the things I do?”

“Why do I live in the rat race?”

“Is it to keep up an image?”

“To show status?”

“Why am I not happy?”

“When did I leave behind the things I truly love?”

I realised that, in many occasion, I had missed the opportunity to say,

“Thank you!”
“I miss you.”
“I love you.”

… because I was too busy!

It was 2015 when we understood that we were living automated lives, we knew it was time to change life.

Until then, our lives had revolved around a hefty mortgage and a heavy workload that did not pay off the effort.

We woke up to the fact that life is too short and too precious to be wasted with routine.

Time was ticking.

Luckily, we are believers that it is never too late to stop whatever you are doing and start again.

We were aware that all it takes is the willingness to change.

And so we did.

“A rat race is an endless, self-defeating, or pointless pursuit… associated with an exhausting, repetitive lifestyle that leaves no time for relaxation or enjoyment.”

It’s never too late to start again

In June of 2016, after weighing out our lives, James and I decided to break free from the rat-race.

We had to reinvent ourselves.

From there, the decision to close our company and travel in search of inspiration and new horizons was just a consequence.

In February 2017, we left home looking for answers and a new way of life. A life that would be meaningful, fun and free.

First, we went to the Portuguese Madeira Island, but after three months we decided to look further.

From there, we headed to Malaysia.

Six months after leaving home, we had found a simple, compassionate, fulfilling and happier life on the island of Langkawi, in Malaysia.

We also found a new path of purpose, of deep respect for ourselves, for others, and for mother Earth.

This soul-searching adventure also made us realise that we are environmentalists at heart.

For this reason, this blog, and our Youtube channel are a place for sharing life-changing insight, travel experiences, but also for promoting environmental awareness and instigating eco-conscious behaviours.
