💭 I dreamed of quitting my job to travel.
🌎 So I did it!
🏡 Now I house sit worldwide. Interested?

My story’s on @xoNecole y’all!! 🙌🏾 Most of you know that I quit my job when I was 41 to travel for a year on savings. What some of you don’t know is how much cheaper it was than staying in Delaware.⁣
⁣
My place in Hoi An, Vietnam was cheaper than my electric bill in Wilmington 😩.⁣
⁣
And you’d be surprised how easy it is to plan something like this. Thanks, Internet! 👩🏾‍💻⁣
⁣
That’s why I started my YouTube channel. [Link in bio.] If you want to take time off of work to travel, I REALLY WANT YOU TO DO IT. 🌎⁣ Let me know in the comments, where would you go and what would you do? And yes, self care is a valid answer. 💁🏾‍♀️
⁣
Here’s to living life on your own terms.💃🏾⁣
⁣
And remember, brave is NOT the opposite of fear, it’s just the next step. 👣 ⁣

I’m so excited for 2020! I felt like I was taking a lot of Ls in August and September. October too, tbh. But 2019’s going out with a bang! 🎉⁣
⁣
Some exciting stuff is happening for Vaycarious (I’ll be sharing that later), and it’s because of you, Travel Buddy. 💗⁣
⁣
It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but I’m so thankful for you. 👭⁣
⁣
If you want to know how you can support...Liking, commenting, sharing and subscribing on your fave social media channels all help me reach new people with the Gospel of the Grown Up Gap Year. 📣 ⁣
⁣
Tell me, how’s the end of 2019 going for you? What can I do to support you? 🤝⁣

I always tell you to master the tripod selfie so you don’t have to rely on strangers to take pics of you when you travel. But I never say how many tries it takes to get the tripod selfie right. 😆😆 I cut the top of my own head off, but let’s be honest...the necklace is really the star of this show. 🤩

It’s one of the pieces I brought back from South Africa in 2017, but I couldn’t sell this one. I think it’s my very favorite thing. 💞

Do you take your very favorite thing with you when you travel, or leave it home? 🏡 📺 New YouTube Video: Zero Saving Sabbaticals. The link’s in my bio. ⬆️⁣ Or search “grown up gap year A to Z” on YouTube.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Essence.com included my pic from Cambodia in their post 30 Photos of Epic Adventures That Will Inspire You To Live Life To The Fullest! 🙌🏾 The other pics were of people scuba diving and zip lining and snow boarding. I’m just standing.🚶🏿‍♀️But believe me, this was an epic adventure.⁣
⁣
I quit my job to travel for a year to places where I didn’t know anybody and couldn’t speak the language. I just really wanted to see the world before I’m too old to enjoy it. I was 41 with good health. The perfect time.⁣
⁣
I think waiting for retirement to travel is a SCAM. It’s Adventure (even just the stand there and take a picture kind) Time!🌋 ⁣

#flashbackfriday This house sit was 💣! Walking distance to shopping and to public transportation and was right across the street from a canal. I took care of Archie the cat who was extremely photogenic 😻 but refused to pose with me.😾⁣

🎙 Aye! I’m speaking at Audacity Fest in Memphis on September 28th! ⁣
⁣
🎡 Audacity Fest is a travel conference created by @nomadness for black and brown travel lovers. There’ll be panels, vendors, international music and food!⁣
⁣
🌍 There’s something for every type of traveler:⁣ Culinary / Self Care / Immersive / Adventure / Luxury / Budget [hey! 👋🏾]⁣
⁣
👭 I hope I’ll get to see you there. VIP tickets just sold out, but use code STEPHANIE to get 25% off general admission. And they’re also giving away a free ticket if you volunteer. ⁣
⁣
🙉 If this is the first you’re hearing about me speaking at Audacity Fest, it’s because you aren’t getting my email newsletter.⁣
⁣
📬 Every week I send out a newsletter where I go deep on how you can take a year off to travel [like becoming a house sitter!], so DM me your email address and I’ll send you my newsletter.⁣
⁣
❓ Are you going to Audacity Fest?⁣
