Quitting corporate life

Late in 2017,  Sal Schmidt and Wayne Schmidt took three months of extended leave, a common practice at my then-age of 55.

 

While sitting at a bar in Frankfurt, we realised we had fallen into a rut.

 

Long gruelling hours, trying to live a life of consumption.

 

We returned to Australia and sold our trinkets (left five suitcases left at Sally's mum's house ).

 

To start living a slower life, of travel, less consumption of trinkets and capturing memories.

 

Two weeks later, our journey began; no jobs, two suitcases, and no plans.

 

Now six years into our digital nomad life, we've built a lifestyle business, working with some of the most inspiring individuals.

 

These words now have so much meaning.

Perspective.

The average life expectancy is 78 years.

While the retirement age is 65+.

So we work 45 years.

To enjoy maybe 13.
