Friends Dan & Audrey of Uncornered Market in an honest take about quitting to travel as a couple, and the challenges that a twosome can entail. We are two people. When you act alone, you can just pick up and go. As a couple you must constantly communicate to make sure you’re still aligned in your goals and needs. It’s something we call “checking in”, a process we’d used somewhat informally in our daily lives, but now approached more deliberately given the major life decisions ahead of us. The decisive check-in happened one night as we sat together at the edge of our bed in Prague, probing possible reasons for making the leap – or not. “Are we really ready to do this?” I asked. “Well… maybe we can put it off just a little while longer?” Audrey responded, echoing my own ambivalence. “But one year becomes five, five becomes 10. The next thing you know you are looking back and wondering ‘What if?’” I said. We looked at one another, knowing what we were about to do.
