Taking a mini‑retirement to travel because, well, why not? with Kat and Sam

  • Summary

  • Kat loved her job as a clinical pharmacist in emergency medicine.

    Sam loved restoring habitat along a rail trail as part of his job.

    And yet, one day, they both quit, to take a year-long mini-retirement in Latin America.

    Because, well, why not?

    They’d learnt that If you save, you can take a year of travel every decade of your life.

    This idea of little pauses throughout your career sounded amazing to them!

    Now, on their travels, they’re scoping out places all over the Spanish-speaking world to see where they might want to move, on the next stage of their work-life journey!


    You can find Kat and Sam’s travel photos on Instagram @katandsamadventures.


    You can also follow Kat’s yoga inspiration @Kat_Kayamane and Sam’s ecology photos @naturewithecoguy.
