I enjoyed a lot the reading, but the title is misleading. Not everything went wrong, they even list things they feared could go wrong and didn't. By the end of, it went mostly right (except for spending more time and money than expected).
Not a bad story, on the contrary, but I was interested in reading about the learnings of pursuing a dream and things going actually wrong. What you do next? Try again? Try another thing? Go back to your old life with renewed insight? Gain in wisdom?
- tomlagier 6y agoMy wife and I did this. We quit our jobs to travel for a year, got 6 weeks in before it was clear COVID wasn't going anywhere and we needed to return. We came back and decided that since we had a nice travel fund and no jobs we should use that buffer to explore career choices and places to live that we hadn't previously. She is now attempting to become a full-time food photographer, I'm still in software but working as a freelance contractor with a lot more free time and better commute. So far we've broken roughly even on the experience, with a significant boost in quality of life. http://tomandmary.travel/ http://tomandmary.travel/
- soneca 6y agoOh shit.. Covid is making a lot of dreams go wrong indeed. Adapting to the circumstances while keep the core of changing your life seems a smart way to deal with it. There is nothing in the link you posted, btw. Not sure if a typo or you just didn't publish the site yet
