“What if I spend time and money on something that doesn’t work out?” Guess what? You will and that’s part of the price of the freedom journey.

Well done Jo. As a fellow adventurer, be assured I’m here cheering you on.

I really love your work Jo. I always feel enthused, inspired and motivated when I read it. It is so full of possibilities and going for dreams. I’ve spend the past 20 odd years travelling and working and never regretted a moment. Had my wings clipped a bit since the pandemic but am back doing temp contracts in different places. At 67 I’m just about to join a law department of a UK university to work with students - I will work for 2 x semesters in China so fulfilling my dream of working in China, and the role is only 6 months each year leaving me the rest of the year to do whatever I will. And I am doing!!

Hey Kathy, thanks so much for your kind comments. 😊 🙏 That sounds fantastic! Where will you be based in China? There’s so much more of that country that I want to explore.

It's kind of nice to have you there/here/somewhere with us as we make our big leap. Pretty interesting really, as we haven't actually met 🙃
